According to Sensor Tower, GTA 6 has now sold 10.31 million total units via pre-purchases, which works out to about $1 billion in gross revenue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report said PS5 sales are dominating the mix, with GTA 6 selling 7.73 million units on PS5 so far, compared to 2.58 million on Xbox Series X|S. That means of the 10.31 million GTA 6 sales so far, 75% are on PS5 and 25% on Xbox Series X|S.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In total, GTA 6 sales for PS5 have so far reached $751 million in revenue, compared to $250 million for Xbox Series X|S. Sony and Microsoft keep about 30% of revenue due to their platform fees, so GTA 6 being a huge success directly benefits both of those companies.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"We Analyzed Every Official GTA 6 Screenshot\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wmKu9Uow-os?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The huge gap in sales between platforms is not surprising because the PS5 is dominating Xbox Series X|S in terms of console sales.
