GTA 6 tops 6 million pre-orders, Sensor Tower says

Vandal, citing Sensor Tower's sales tracker as updated on 27 October, puts total GTA 6 pre-orders at 6.92 million. The outlet says around 470,000 units were added between 17 and 25 October on PS5 and Xbox Series. That is a later snapshot than the 6.45 million of 20 October mentioned above.

By platform, it would be 5.14 million on PS5 (74%) and 1.78 million on Xbox Series (26%), with roughly 675 million dollars in revenue. According to Vandal, Rockstar has neither confirmed these figures nor published its own.

Sports Tiger dates the 6.45 million digital pre-orders figure that Insider Gaming already cited to October 20, which settles what this article left open: it is not a separate tracker but a later cut of Sensor Tower's estimates. On October 13 the estimate was 6.08 million, so the total rose by roughly 370,000 copies in a week. The outlet keeps the 630 million dollars in revenue and the split of about 4.8 million on PS5 and 1.66 million on Xbox Series X|S.

According to Sports Tiger, the count still leaves out physical retail pre-orders. Rockstar and Take-Two have not confirmed any figure.

Per the report covered by Instant Gaming News, GTA 6 had 6.08 million pre-orders worldwide as of October 13. That is about $594 million in net revenue. The platform split is lopsided: 4.51 million on PS5 (74%) and 1.57 million on Xbox Series (26%).

The count covers digital sales only. Physical pre-orders are left out, so the real total could be higher.

Insider Gaming reports newer data from the same firm: 6.45 million copies and $630 million. They may well be two snapshots of the same tracking, but neither source says so, so we treat that as unverified.

Either way, PS5 takes about 74% of pre-orders.

The same report says that in the United States GTA 6 beats every game released in the past six years. Its digital pre-orders sit 148% above Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022), which ranks second. Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Hogwarts Legacy, Diablo IV and Cyberpunk 2077 trail well behind.

Another firm, Newzoo, estimates according to Insider Gaming that launch week could reach up to $5.2 billion. That is a projection, not a result.

Rockstar and Take-Two have not detailed how many copies were reserved. The official launch date remains November 19, 2026. Insider Gaming adds that pre-load would start on November 12, but no other source mentions it, so it stays unverified. Take-Two reports earnings on November 9, which could bring a figure of its own.
