GTA 6 Sets New PlayStation and Xbox Pre-Order Records
GTA 6 has reportedly become the most pre-ordered game ever on both the PlayStation Store and the Microsoft Store, according to Sony and Microsoft. Neither company released exact figures, but Sensor Tower estimates 9.69 million pre-orders worth about $942 million net of returns as of November 10. PlayStation accounts for roughly 75% of that. The average works out to around $97 per copy, which fits with many buyers choosing the $100 Ultimate Edition. For the industry, this is a signal about how early pre-order and pre-loading strategies can shape launch demand. The comparison with Cyberpunk 2077's 8 million pre-orders is not like-for-like, since Cyberpunk also launched on PC.
