GTA 5 became the second best-selling video game of all time and broke all previous GTA sales records. True to form, fans expect the next title to be even bigger, possibly the most popular game of all time.
GTA 6 will be the next mainline GTA title set in HD Universe. The game, although not yet confirmed, has already generated insane hype. This should only increase as the game approaches an official release.
The last GTA game was released almost a decade ago, but it remains popular due to its multiplayer mode. This raises the question of how much popularity the next game will have.
Why GTA 6 Should Break All Sales Records When It Releases
The anticipation around GTA 6 has slowly grown over the years. Numerous leaks have surfaced, each with their own set of details about the upcoming game. While some may be true, most of them have been debunked.
The fact that so many false claims about leaks appear regularly indicates the hype surrounding GTA 6. Every time Rockstar Games gets ready to announce something, the internet explodes in anticipation of the GTA 6 announcement.
This sets off a cycle of excited fans monitoring social media for updates, only to be disappointed when there aren't any, and then tweeting about their dissatisfaction. This is why most fans believe it will be the most successful entertainment product of all time:
However, not everyone shares the same opinion about their sales. Some pointed out that there weren't as many console sales as before. With the global lockdown and chip shortage, current-gen consoles have been relatively scarce.
If GTA 6 decides to only release on current-gen consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, they won't be able to break GTA 5's sales records. GTA 6 needs to be released on current-gen consoles and then ported to future consoles to match its predecessor's level of success.
Rockstar did the same thing with GTA 5. It was first released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 before being ported to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PCs. It is currently preparing to make the leap to another generation of consoles.
Most fans already believe that it will break all previous records in the Grand Theft Auto franchise. Overall, GTA 6 has a good chance of selling Minecraft and possibly breaking some records in the entertainment industry as a whole. Only time will tell.
