AI Summary
GTA 6 hype is already boosting PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series console sales in the UK, even though Rockstar Games’ own revenue from the title is still a few months away. The game’s “GTA 6: An Extended Look” event drew almost 4 million viewers on livestreaming platforms, with the deep‑dive episode on Netflix attracting 31 million viewers and an additional 22 million watching on YouTube. These numbers illustrate the strong consumer interest that is translating into increased console demand.
