## Key points

- GTA 6 pre-orders are estimated at $942 million.
- PlayStation accounts for about three-quarters of the orders.
- The estimates are not directly comparable with GTA 5’s confirmed sales.

## Summary

The latest estimates put Grand Theft Auto 6’s digital pre-orders at nearly $1 billion before its planned release, potentially making it the most pre-ordered game ever. The figures underline demand for Rockstar’s next release and suggest it could challenge the sales records set by GTA 5.

Sensor Tower estimates 9.69 million pre-orders across PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, worth $942 million in total. PlayStation accounts for 7.23 million orders, estimated at $703 million, while Xbox has 2.46 million, worth $239 million; no PC pre-orders are available. These are estimates rather than confirmed sales, so they are not directly comparable with GTA 5’s reported $800 million in first-day retail sales and more than $1 billion in three days. GTA 5 has since sold nearly 235 million copies worldwide.
