Sensor Tower’s tracker displays 7.71 million cumulative units sold and $751 million in cumulative revenue, with both metrics labeled net of returns. The chart’s latest dated values are from November 1, 2026; the dashboard was last updated November 3. Sensor Tower’s tracker presents these as estimates for Grand Theft Auto VI across PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
What Sensor Tower’s tracker displays
The dashboard labels its measures “units sold (net of returns)” and “revenue (net of returns).” Its platform breakdown is:
| Platform | Cumulative units, net of returns | Displayed share | Cumulative revenue, net of returns |
| PlayStation 5 | 5.74 million | 74% | $559 million |
| Xbox Series X|S | 1.97 million | 26% | $192 million |
| Total | 7.71 million | 100% | $751 million |
The platform figures add up to the displayed totals. PlayStation 5 accounts for 74% of the units in the tracker’s split, while Xbox Series X|S accounts for 26%.
What Newzoo measured and forecast
Newzoo reported about $180 million in digital preorder spending across the United States, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany and Spain during the final week of June 2026. It extrapolated that six-market figure to roughly $260 million globally, using the estimate that those markets accounted for 69% of Grand Theft Auto V’s lifetime console players. The global figure is an extrapolation, not a direct measurement across all markets. Newzoo’s analysis also modeled cumulative launch-week sales scenarios of $3.25 billion to $5.2 billion.
A spending observation records a defined period; an extrapolation extends an estimate beyond its observed markets, while a forecast models a future outcome.
Newzoo’s central $4.5 billion scenario assumes an average selling price of $88 and corresponds to about 51 million units. The $3.25 billion–$5.2 billion range and the central scenario are forecasts, separate from Sensor Tower’s later cumulative tracker snapshot.
