According to Sensor Tower, GTA 6 has now sold 7.71 million total units via pre-purchases, which works out to about $751 million in gross revenue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report said PS5 sales are dominating the mix, with GTA 6 selling 5.74 million units on PS5 so far, compared to 1.97 million on Xbox Series X|S. That means of the 7.71 million GTA 6 sales so far, 74% are on PS5 and 26% on Xbox Series X|S.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In total, GTA 6 sales for PS5 have so far reached $559 million in revenue, compared to $192 million for Xbox Series X|S. Sony and Microsoft keep about 30% of revenue due to their platform fees, so GTA 6 being a huge success directly benefits both of those companies. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"We Analyzed Every Official GTA 6 Screenshot\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wmKu9Uow-os?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The huge gap in sales between platforms is not surprising because the PS5 is dominating Xbox Series X|S in terms of console sales. In fact, GTA 6 is breaking records on Xbox, Microsoft has said, and the sales numbers for GTA 6 on Xbox line up with Xbox&#8217;s share of the console market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sensor Tower is projecting as many as 25 million total pre-purchases for GTA 6 by launch, and if the 74\/26 split holds, that would be about 18.5 million units on PS5 and 6.5 million on Xbox Series X|S. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sony holds the marketing rights for GTA 6 on PS5, but that doesn&#8217;t mean that Microsoft is doing nothing to try to promote the game. Just recently, Microsoft announced a GTA 6-inspired custom Xbox console that sits inside an alligator.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Circana has released new data that shows that GTA 6 holds 29% purchase intent among US console and PC gamers. That means nearly 1 in 3 console and PC gamers in the US plan to buy GTA 6\u2013this is the highest purchase intent that Circana has ever measured for any game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GTA 6 may indeed be a gigantic hit commercially, and one that helps lift the entire industry with increased sales of hardware and accessories. But anyone looking to buy a new console to play GTA 6 is set for major sticker shock, as consoles today are more expensive than ever. Not only that, but GTA 6 is not going to save the industry\u2019s many serious and deep-rooted issues, experts believe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GTA 6 launches on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The game&#8217;s file size is about 212GB, and thankfully, preloading begins more than a week before launch. The game unlocks on November 19 at midnight local time, and that means US players will be among the last in the world to get in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People in New Zealand, meanwhile, will be the first in the world to play GTA 6.
