GTA 6 Digital Pre-orders Surpass 6 Million Units, Generating $594 Million

ANKARA, Oct 20 (OPA) — Data from Sensor Tower as of Oct. 13 confirms that digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto 6 have exceeded 6 million units. This volume has resulted in $594 million in total revenue, signaling strong consumer demand for the highly anticipated title from Rockstar Games.

PlayStation platforms account for the majority of these sales, representing 74% of the total pre-order volume. PlayStation users purchased 4.51 million units, contributing approximately $441 million to the total revenue. In contrast, Xbox users accounted for 1.57 million units, generating $153 million in revenue.

Market analysis indicates that GTA 6 is outperforming recent major releases by a significant margin. In the United States, pre-order velocity for the title is 148% higher than that of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, which was previously considered one of the most successful launches of the last six years. The game is also outpacing the pre-order trajectories of other high-budget titles, including Diablo IV, Cyberpunk 2077, and God of War Ragnarök.

Industry analysts at Piper Sandler project that the game could reach 48 million units sold within its first week of release. These figures currently account only for digital pre-orders, excluding physical copy sales. Should these projections hold, the title is positioned to become one of the highest-selling entertainment products in history, potentially offsetting the multi-billion dollar development budget shortly after launch.
