As of October 20, Rockstar Games has pre-sold an estimated 6.45 million copies of the game, generating approximately $630 million in revenue.
PlayStation 5 owners are expected to make up the majority of pre-orders, accounting for 74% of total sales at 4.8 million copies. Xbox players are projected to purchase around 1.66 million copies. Rockstar has been developing the game for over a decade, making it a significant undertaking. The game is set in the fictional state of Leonida, modeled after Florida, and promises to be more immersive and interactive than previous entries in the franchise.
Pre-orders are priced at $79.99 for the standard edition and $99.99 for the ultimate edition, with a premium collector's set available for $399.99, though it does not include a copy of the game itself.
