An industry expert predicts that 25 million copies of GTA 6 will be sold in 2025 only for PS5 and Xbox Series X | S

As of today we have many more questions than answers about GTA 6, and we are still waiting for Rockstar to surprise the world with a first official trailer. However, a launch of this caliber is historic both for the industry in general and for Take-Two, the company that owns it. It is one of the most anticipated games in history and already there are fans who are wondering how much money it will generate and how it will sell when it is released.

This information has been provided by TweakTown, who have contacted an industry insider named Joost van Dreunen. This emphasizes that GTA 6 will sell only on PS5 and Xbox Series X | S 25 million copies by 2025, at least. Regarding the money generated, he adds that it could get 1,000 million dollars in revenue just at launch. This figure has already been exceeded with GTA 5 in its first three days.

In the first week Rockstar could enjoy with GTA 6 about 12-14 million games sold. All these data are based on an estimate that by 2025 there will be an installed base of 125 million consoles, something that agrees to some extent with PlayStation's forecasts for the end of this fiscal year (63.4 million PS5 sold in March 2024).

In these data it does not appear how it will sell on PC, and it is that today it is not known if there will be a simultaneous launch on the 3 platforms, since it did not happen with the last installment of the GTA saga and with Red Dead Redemption 2. GTA 5 It has sold 180 million copies to date, but it will be difficult for GTA 6 to reach those numbers even in the first few years. At the beginning of Grand Theft Auto 5, 32.5 million games were sold in just 3 months, and a year later it came out for PS4 and Xbox One.
It also came to PC, and it was even one of the most po[CENSORED]r gifts on the Epic Games Store. Likewise, Rockstar was not going to miss the opportunity to take advantage of the pull of the new generation of consoles, since it also sold units with the next-gen version of GTA 5 on PS5 and Xbox Series X | S. If GTA 6 surpasses its predecessor, everything indicates that it will be with the passage of time.
