Sensor Tower: Muse had 10.9M downloads since its September debut, 10.2M of those in the US, becoming the 12th app to hit 10M US downloads in its first 40 days (Sarah Perez/TechCrunch)
Meta's AI companion, Muse, is now one of only a dozen mobile apps to have reached 10 million U.S. downloads in its first 40 days on the market.
A recent analysis from Sensor Tower highlights the staggering gap in preorders between Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) and other major AAA games released in the past six years. The company gathered data on preorders for recent blockbuster titles including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2022), Diablo 4 (2023), Hogwarts Legacy (2023), and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 (2023), and compared them to GTA 6's preorder trajectory.
Modern Warfare 2, a highly successful shooter, garnered preorder numbers 45 days into its launch that were more than double those of Diablo 4. Modern Warfare 2 achieved the biggest opening weekend for a Call of Duty game at $800 million. However, GTA 6's preorder numbers are currently 148% ahead of Modern Warfare 2's at the same point from launch.
Sensor Tower's data, which only covers digital preorders in the United States, reveals that as of October 13, GTA 6 has been preordered 6.08 million times, amounting to an estimated revenue of $594 million. The majority of these preorders were for the $100 ultimate edition of GTA 6. PlayStation accounted for 74% of preorders, while Xbox took 26%.
GTA 6 is expected to set a record for the biggest launch in video game history. Industry analysts earlier this year predicted GTA 6's sales to range from 30 million to over 50 million units in its first year.
