GTA 6 has passed an estimated 7.71 million digital pre-orders and about $751 million in pre-sales, according to Sensor Tower data as of November 3, 2026. That’s 15 days before launch. PS5 accounts for about 74% of the total. These are third-party estimates, not Rockstar or Take-Two figures.
Last checked on November 4, 2026. The figures come from Sensor Tower’s public GTA VI sales tracker, as reported by Insider Gaming, egw.news and EnosTech. Sensor Tower’s page loads its numbers with scripts, so we checked them against two reports rather than reading them off the page directly. Rockstar hasn’t commented.
GTA 6 pre-orders by platform
| Platform | Digital pre-orders | Share | Estimated revenue | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PS5 | 5.74M | 74% | ~$559M | Estimate |
| Xbox Series X|S | 1.97M | 26% | ~$192M | Estimate |
| Total | 7.71M | 100% | ~$751M | Estimate |
There is no PC version at launch, so these are console figures only. Read more about the GTA 6 PC release date.
How fast pre-orders are growing
Sensor Tower’s tracker had GTA 6 just above $600 million in mid-October, according to earlier coverage. Our math Reaching about $751 million by November 3 means more than $100 million added in about two to three weeks, in the run-up to the preload announcement. Expect another jump around November 10, when preloading opens, and in the final week before launch.
What the numbers don’t tell you
- Digital only. Physical pre-orders from retailers like Amazon, Walmart or GAME aren’t included. Physical sales are a large share of a launch this size.
- Estimates, not sales reports. Sensor Tower models store data. Take-Two only reports official figures in earnings and press releases.
- Revenue per copy looks high. Our math $751M รท 7.71M is about $97 per pre-order, close to the $99.99 Ultimate Edition price. That would mean almost everyone bought Ultimate, which seems unlikely. More likely the revenue estimate includes taxes or regional pricing differences. Treat the dollar figure as a rough guide.
How GTA 6 compares with Rockstar’s biggest launches
| Game | Figure | Window | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| GTA V (2013) | $800M+ retail sell-through | First day | Official Take-Two |
| GTA V (2013) | $1B+ | First three days | Official Take-Two |
| Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018) | $725M+ | First three days | Official Take-Two |
| GTA 6 (2026) | ~$751M digital | Pre-orders, 15 days before launch | Estimate Sensor Tower |
The comparison isn’t like for like. GTA V’s figure is physical and digital sales after launch, while GTA 6’s is digital pre-orders only. Still, GTA 6’s pre-sales alone are already above Red Dead Redemption 2’s official opening weekend. Newzoo has forecast around $5.2 billion in launch-week spending for GTA 6, according to Insider Gaming. That is a forecast, not a sales figure.
