GTA 6 will soon be upon us, and despite the anticipation I don't believe it will sell well on consoles here.

Rockstar has announced their preorders for GTA 6, which will start on June 25. Standard edition is 109k and ultimate will be 130k. It will only release on consoles for now, with pc to het it at a later date.

The main reason i believe it will not sell well on consoles is not the price, but how they are handling the physical copies. The physical box will not come with a disk inside, but it will have a full download code instead.
Considering the size of the game which will definately be above 100gb. Not many places have fast enough internet, generous enough data plans, or stable enough light to download it.

I believe the popularity will soar once it gets on pc and people can easily get it from someone who has already downloaded it.

Red dead redemption 2 is 128gb on my xbox, now imagine the size of gta 6. It will be really heavy to download. I agree with you boss

What is the average download speed in Nigeria ? I guess depends on your location and network provider.

When I was in Festac area Lagos, I was getting roughy 1-2 MB/s. If you manage it to get 2MB per second consistently no hiccups it will take about 14hours to download 100GB.

The PlayStation 5 has the ability to resume download

So, it’s actually doable if you subscribe to MTN the unlimited plan for N30k. Offering around 50MB/s (FibreX Base Plan ₦30,000.00)

So your download should take around 1-2hours

Nothing new, people that game always find a way. All this mumu topics self.
