GTA 6 Officially Breaks Pre-order Records on PlayStation and Xbox Stores

Grand Theft Auto 6 has become the most pre-ordered game in the history of both the PlayStation and Xbox stores, according to the platform owners. The record signals exceptional demand ahead of its release and has made preloading available on PS5 and Xbox Series X.

Neither platform has disclosed preorder totals, and Rockstar has not reported sales figures. Recent estimates put pre-release sales just under 8 million copies, while Take-Two chief executive Strauss Zelnick said preorders were far above expectations. Take-Two also said GTA 6’s pre-release sales have affected sales of NBA 2K27. GTA 6 is due out on 19 November, with launch times varying by platform and location.
