According to market intelligence estimates from Sensor Tower, GTA VI has exceeded 10 million pre-orders across PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, pushing estimated pre-release revenue beyond the billion-dollar mark. These figures put the game ahead of Cyberpunk 2077, which previously set a major benchmark with more than 8 million pre-orders ahead of its December 2020 launch.
The milestone has also been acknowledged by the platform holders themselves. Sony confirmed that GTA VI is the most pre-ordered game in PlayStation Store history, while Microsoft described it as the most pre-ordered title ever on the Microsoft Store.
PlayStation reportedly accounts for around 75% of GTA VI’s pre-orders, with Xbox making up the remaining share. However, Rockstar Games and its parent company, Take-Two Interactive, have not independently confirmed the estimated sales figures.
The growing demand comes as the gaming community prepares for the game’s November 19 release. Expectations surrounding GTA VI have been building for years, making it one of the most anticipated entertainment releases in recent memory.
With more pre-orders potentially arriving before launch, Rockstar’s latest project could set even bigger records in the days ahead. One thing is already clear: GTA VI is shaping up to be an extraordinary commercial success, even before players get their hands on it.
