0At Konvoy, analysts attempted to forecast the potential figures GTA 6 might reach and laid out their own vision of how the sales might unfold.
- The standard edition is expected to be priced at $80 (with higher-priced versions also available). When adjusted for inflation, this would make it the cheapest major installment in the series.
- Pre-orders alone are projected to generate $800 million, with another $1.2 billion coming in on launch day. Within two months, the game could bring in $6.8 billion — far exceeding estimates from DFC Intelligence.
- Total profit over the first 60 days is expected to reach $7.66 billion — with nearly a billion of that coming from microtransactions and the paid GTA+ subscription, assuming the new Online mode launches one month after Grand Theft Auto VI release.
- The expected breakdown of copies sold: 10 million before launch, another 15 million on day one, and by the end of the second month — 85 million. However, that last number seems overly optimistic, considering that currently, there are only around 75 million PS5 and 30 million Xbox Series X/S units in circulation.
- Even more doubtful is the claim that multiplayer sessions could support up to 200 players. According to recent rumors, developers are currently aiming for a 96-player cap — half of what Konvoy predicts.
