Analysts predict GTA 6 could smash $5 billion in week-one sales

Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto VI is poised to be a financial supernova, according to new predictions. Research firm Newzoo estimates the game could earn a staggering $3.3 billion to $5.2 billion in global sales within its first week alone, per GameSpot.

That revenue would be driven by massive unit sales. VGC reports the analytics firm says GTA 6 is on track to sell between 37 and 51 million copies in week one, claiming it has "the strongest pre-order campaign on record."

Newzoo's data also suggests around $260 million was spent in the first week of pre-orders. The game is scheduled to launch this November.
