Grand Theft Auto VI has secured a new record for the highest volume of pre-sales in the history of the Xbox and PlayStation digital storefronts. Data from Sensor Tower estimates the game has generated more than $1B in pre-order revenue, with the number of digital pre-orders surpassing 9.69 million units before the game’s Nov 19 launch.
The momentum follows a second-quarter report from parent company Take-Two Interactive, which showed total net bookings fell 18% year over year to $1.6B and missed analyst expectations of $1.66B. The company noted that anticipation for the upcoming release contributed to a sales miss for its other title, NBA 2K27, though CEO Strauss Zelnick expects the title to deliver a “historic year” for the publisher. Some users have already begun pre-loading the 210 GB game.
