玩家苦等13年的《俠盜獵車手6》傳出預購量已逼近1000萬套,打破歷史紀錄,但學者警告上市當天可能因大量玩家請假造成美國經濟產值損失。

《俠盜獵車手6》預購量達969萬套創歷史新高,預計11月19日上市。學者預估上市當天大批玩家請假遊玩,恐致美國經濟產值損失達10億美元,部分企業已發出營運影響預警。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

《俠盜獵車手6》自6月展開預購,預定於11月19日正式上市,距離前作已時隔多年。

Font size

玩家苦等 13 年的《俠盜獵車手 6》於今年 6 月展開預購,並將於 11 月 19 日正式上市,近日有消息指出,預購至今已經銷售 969 萬套,一舉超越《電馭叛客 2077》成為史上預購銷量最高的遊戲,甚至有望在上市前突破 1000 萬套的大關。

根據 Take-Two 執行長 Strauss Zelnick 的說法,《俠盜獵車手 6》預購階段就已經創下驚人的歷史性紀錄,預估今年會成為 Take-Two 歷史上具有里程碑意義的年份,公司最新的財務預測,《俠盜獵車手 6》有望帶領 Take-Two 本財年第三季度的淨預訂額衝到 33.5 至 35 億美元。

而對於《俠盜獵車手 6》的影響力,根據巴塞隆納龐培法布拉大學經濟學教授 Jose Montalvo 的說法,GTA 6 上市時間為 11 月 19 日,屬於正常上班日,但對於期待已久的玩家而言,首日將是全球玩家狂歡日,將會導致大量的民眾在當天請假在家盡情暢玩,美國整體的「經濟產值」可能面臨高達 10 億美元損失。

Jose Montalvo 研究指出,GTA 6 上市當天美國會有上千名 18 到 30 歲的男性民眾直接請假,盡情享受這款等待超過 10 年的超重量級大作,並提及前作 GTA 5 於 2013 年 9 月上市的當天,美國各大主要城市的 18 至 35 歲勞工群體之間就出現了 2% 的請假比例。

而且美國部分企業也深知 GTA 6 的影響力,已經提前為 11 月 19 日上市當天打預防針,例如加州的汽車公司 Burger Motorsports 便發出聲明,11 月 19 日起至少數天內,旗下客戶服務、出貨、訂單處理以及整體工作效率都可能會出現下降的情況。
