Two outlets report on an analyst estimate of Grand Theft Auto 6’s early commercial performance based on pre-order information. Metro notes that Rockstar’s pre-orders for GTA 6 do not reach a headline $1 billion figure, according to the analysis cited, but it says other projections for the game’s opening period are even more aggressive. Polygon reports that the same kind of analysis suggests GTA 6 could sell more than 50 million copies in its first week and generate about $5.2 billion, which it describes as roughly five times the level of GTA 5’s first-week sales. Across both reports, the figures are presented as predictions rather than confirmed results, and they rely on interpreting pre-order performance to project launch sales. Neither outlet indicates that Rockstar has announced any official sales totals for GTA 6. The reports therefore focus on the scale of the forecasts and the use of pre-order data to model how quickly the game could sell after release.
