Rockstar on GTA 6 Pre-Orders
Developer Rockstar Games and its parent company Take-Two have not officially confirmed pre-order numbers for GTA 6. However, during Take-Two’s Q1 FY2027 earnings call in August, CEO Strauss Zelnick said that the game had an “exceptional” start to pre-orders. Later during the Q&A section of the call with investors and analysts, the executive said that GTA 6 pre-order numbers were unprecedented.
In an interview with CNBC following the earnings call, Zelnick said that GTA 6 pre-orders were “much better than expected”. He also confirmed that more people were pre-ordering the $100 Ultimate edition of GTA 6. The game is also available in an $80 Standard edition.
In July, market research firm Newzoo said its data showed that GTA 6 had the strongest opening to a pre-order campaign ever, generating around $180 million (roughly Rs.1,734 crore) in digital pre-orders across the US, the UK, France, Italy, Germany, and Spain in its first week of sales. The firm also said the game was on track to make a record $3.3 billion to $5.2 billion (roughly Rs. 31,799 crore to Rs. 50,108 crore) in cumulative global sales by the end of its launch week.
Grand Theft Auto 6 will launch on PS5 and Xbox Series S/X on November 19, 2026. Pre-orders for the game are live on PlayStation and Xbox storefronts.
