Sorry all, but definitely will be pre-ordering.

Alright so what numbers are we thinking for this? I think Cyberpunk had 8M pre-orders or something like that, for GTA 6 i'm going to go with 25-30M pre-orders

Bizwas Zeltaz13 (on 18 June 2026)

I am not pre-ordering it, so you can go with 25-30M minus 1. Should still be fairly accurate.

Day one sales, including pre-orders, should be over 20M.

Zeltaz13 BraLoD (on 18 June 2026)

Oh for sure, i think pre orders will be more than 20M already, then adding day one sales i think it'll reach 40M

BraLoD Zeltaz13 (on 18 June 2026)

GTA V had a bigger install base to start with than GTA VI does and it sold around 12M day one if I remember it right, I honestly doubt it'll sell 40M copies day one, even as I expect it to be a lot above GTA V because of the long period of hype building up to it.

Not even close to those numbers lol

CosmicSex Zeltaz13 (on 18 June 2026)

A very large number. something like 25 million.

Not that excited to be honest. I can't see the jump or leap in technology from the last gta 5 remastered to gta6 being substantial. Though if they dona deep dive or some presentation leading to release, i would watch it.

i will leave my money in the bank to collect interest till a couple days before release

1 week until we know the price.
I think it'll be the first PS5 game (base edition) to be sold at $80, and I expect other games to adopt the price next year too.
