KEY POINTS
- Digital preorders exceed 751 million dollars
- Approximately 7.71 million digital copies preordered
- PS5 holds 74 percent of digital preorders
- Game launches on November 19 and requires up to 212 gigabytes
- Take-Two CEO confirms no further delay
Digital preorders for Grand Theft Auto 6 have generated more than 751 million dollars before the game's release, according to Sensor Tower data collected through November 3. Rockstar Games has not confirmed the estimate, which excludes physical copies sold in stores.
The total represents approximately 7.71 million digital copies, up from 6.08 million copies and 594 million dollars recorded on October 13. In three weeks, preorders grew by 157 million dollars, averaging about 7.5 million dollars per day. GTA 6 has already surpassed GTA V's 7 million preorders from 2013 and is approaching its first-day revenue of more than 800 million dollars.
“It's not going to be delayed again.”
PlayStation 5 dominates digital preorders with 74 percent of the total, equal to 5.74 million copies and 559 million dollars. Xbox Series accounts for 1.97 million copies and 192 million dollars. This balance has not changed since mid-October.
Take-Two Interactive reported that preorders are tracking far in excess of initial expectations as the company released its second quarter fiscal year 2027 results. CEO Strauss Zelnick described himself as optimistic about the launch and stated the game will not be delayed again.
The game requires up to 212 gigabytes of storage, with preloading available two days before release. Industry observers expect the launch to be the biggest entertainment release of all time, potentially straining the PlayStation Store and internet infrastructure as millions download the file worldwide.
GTA 6 is scheduled to launch on November 19. Take-Two continues to support GTA Online while attention turns to how quickly Rockstar can deliver its next title after an eight-year gap since Red Dead Redemption 2.
