## Summary

Grand Theft Auto 6 is estimated to have sold nearly 7.71 million copies before its 19 November release, generating about $751 million in revenue. The figures suggest unusually strong demand for a game that has not yet launched, though Rockstar has not confirmed the pre-order numbers.

Sensor Tower estimates that PlayStation accounts for 74% of sales and Xbox for 26%. The article compares the estimate with 2026 game sales, including Resident Evil Requiem’s reported 8.5 million copies, but notes that the figures come from different tracking sources and cannot establish a definitive ranking. GTA 6 is due on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
