Rockstar’s GTA 6 is expected to be a giant success commercially, but just how big does the game need to be to actually be successful following a decade of development and perhaps one of the biggest development budgets ever? We don’t know, because Take-Two doesn’t disclose that kind of information, but EA founder Bing Gordon has his own thoughts.
On the Sozzi Unleashed show, Gordon said it would be “mind-blowing” if GTA 6 can reach 75 million copies sold. How did he arrive at that number? Gordon said he was basing this on a number–750 million–a figure he thought a previous GTA 6 trailer reached. If GTA 6 can sell 10% of that, or 75 million copies, that would be a success, he said.
Gordon was referencing “the preview video,” which might have been the GTA 6 Extended Look, which premiered on Netflix and then landed on YouTube. No single video for GTA 6 has 750 million views, but it’s not a stretch to think GTA 6 videos distributed everywhere on the internet have reached that number collectively.
