GTA VI Could Top 520 Million Sales as Rockstar Targets Tetris and Minecraft

Summary
520 million copies is the benchmark GTA VI would need to beat to become the best-selling game ever, with its Nov. 19 launch expected to generate massive demand regardless of controversy.
230 million GTA V sales and 85 million for Red Dead Redemption 2 show Rockstar’s track record, but current console reach is far smaller: about 95 million PS5 units and 35 million Xbox Series X/S units sold.
130 million potential console players leaves GTA VI well short of the record on hardware alone, making a PC release—potentially in early 2027—and later next-generation editions central to any path higher.
400 million Minecraft sales and Tetris’s 520 million lead still reflect their advantage from decades of availability across far more platforms, the main obstacle to GTA VI overtaking them.
