Record Pre‑order Momentum
GTA 6’s digital pre‑orders are outpacing the biggest AAA titles of the past six years, according to a new analysis by Sensor Tower cited in a Gamespot report. The data shows GTA 6 leading Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (MW2) by 148% over a comparable pre‑launch window, making it the strongest preorder performer among recent releases like Diablo 4, Hogwarts Legacy, and Marvel’s Spider‑Man. Sensor Tower’s tracker indicates the game has already sold more than 6.45 million copies, generating over $630 million in revenue before its November 19, 2026 launch for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Platform Split & Future Outlook
The preorder distribution favors PlayStation 5, with 74% of digital purchases on PS5 versus 26% on Xbox Series X|S, reflecting the console’s broader market penetration. Xbox executives have expressed satisfaction with the numbers, though the majority of pre‑orders are expected to arrive in the final week before release. If the projected 25 million total pre‑orders materialize, GTA 6 could gross more than $2 billion in advance sales. Rockstar plans a single‑player launch initially, with a future GTA Online sequel slated to further boost revenue.
