A video game that hasn't even hit the stores has already made more than a billion dollars. We're talking about GTA 6, one of the most anticipated video games in history. Fans have waited 13 years for this release. And the internet has turned that weight into a global phenomenon. From memes about everything happening before GTA 6 to millions of people pre-ordering the game, the hype is already breaking records. So, what makes this game such a big deal? And can it live up to all the expectations? Here's our report. >> GTA 6 hasn't even been released, but millions of people have already paid to get their hands on it, and the money coming in is staggering. According to a research, the game has already generated over a billion dollars in pre-order sales. More than 11 million copies have been sold worldwide. That's over 11 million people paying for a game they cannot play yet. It will launch on the 19th of November. But what exactly are these millions of people waiting for? A quick GTA 101 for you. It stands for Grand Theft Auto. [screaming] It is one of the most popular video game franchises in the world. The game lets players explore a huge virtual city. They can drive cars, take on missions, and follow a crimefilled story. The new addition takes players to Leonita, a fictional US state inspired by Florida. It also brings back Vice City, a location inspired by Miami. But the biggest reason behind all this excitement is the weight. The last main game in the franchise, GTA 5, came out in 2013. [screaming] That's 13 years between the two releases, and the internet has made a whole meme culture out of it. The phrase everything before GTA 6 has become a running joke. These jokes feature anything that happens before the game finally arrives. Even the recent Microsoft services outage became meme material. Social media users joked that they had lived through yet another major event before GTA 6. That's how big the anticipation has become. And this excitement is translating into serious business. Data shows that PlayStation 5 accounts for 75% of pre-orders. Xbox Series X and S make up the remaining 25%. And why are these two gaming consoles seeing this surge? Because GTA6 can only be played on these consoles, players can even download the game in advance. This is called preloading. It means the game is ready on your console when it officially launches. But there's a catch. GTA 6 needs up to 212 GB of storage space depending on the console. That's a lot of room for one game. And the changes don't stop there. For the first time in the franchise, GTA 6 will not be sold on a physical disc. Players will have to buy it digitally or use a download code. So, no picking up a game box from the store. Clearly, the fans are just waiting to press the play button. But for Rockstar Games, the company behind GTA, the biggest challenge is still ahead. The game has been in development for years. It is the most expensive game ever made. Reportedly, it cost the makers anything between$ 1.5 billion to3 billion. Yes, they have had a massive head start. They have earned $1 billion in pre-order sales. But pre-orders are only one part of the story. The real test begins when players finally get their hands on the game. After 13 years of waiting, millions of fans have sky-high expectations. Can GTA6 live up to the hype? Come 19th of November, the internet will find out.
