Rockstar's GTA 6 is expected to be an enormous, unprecedented success when it releases on November 19, and new data only backs that up further. 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--this is the highest purchase intent that Circana has ever measured for any game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILXsBB3UwSQ Circana's Mat Piscatella said GTA 6 is a "rare cultural and commercial moment" for gaming, and the demand is fueled by the 13-year gap between GTA 5 and GTA 6. "Demand is expected to extend beyond software sales to include consoles, accessories, and gaming subscriptions as consumers prepare for launch," he said. GTA 6 is launching just before Black Friday and the start of the holiday shopping season, and Piscatella said he expects the game's release could drive more sales for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. “Its anticipation and popularity reinforces the growing influence of video games on the broader entertainment and consumer technology markets," Piscatella said. While Circana's study covered purchase intent for console and PC users, the game is confirmed so far only for console. A PC edition, however, is expected in early 2027.
