GTA 6 Netflix Reveal Boosts UK Console Sales

UK PlayStation 5 sales rose 33 percent and Xbox Series S and X sales rose 34 percent in the week after the Grand Theft Auto VI extended look appeared on Netflix. VGC, The Game Business, GamesIndustry.biz and GameRant all cite the same Nielsen IQ figures for the period. The Game Business notes the increase occurred despite recent price hikes on both consoles. The reports focus on the immediate week of the reveal and do not project longer-term effects.
