Digital pre -orders for GTA VI have already surpassed six million, according to an estimate from Sensor Tower based on data collected up to October 13. The calculation points to 6,08 million pre-orders and an estimated net revenue of $594 million, although Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive have not yet released official figures.
The PS5 version accounts for the majority of these digital pre-orders, while the Xbox Series X/S version represents slightly more than a quarter. This count does not include pre-orders of physical copies, so it is not yet useful for measuring the total number of units pre-ordered.
GTA VI has reportedly reached 6,08 million digital pre-orders: 4,51 million on PS5 and 1,57 million on Xbox Series.
PS5 accounts for 74% of estimated digital pre-orders
According to the report, the PS5 has approximately 4,51 million pre-orders, representing 74% of the total. The Xbox Series X/S has around 1,57 million, the remaining 26%. The difference between the two versions is considerable, although these figures should be interpreted as a snapshot of the digital market and not as the final breakdown of all sales.
The calculation also translates those pre-orders into approximately $594 million net. Since physical copies are not included, this amount does not represent the total revenue GTA VI could generate before its release.
The estimate places GTA VI above other major releases
In the United States, projections place GTA VI clearly ahead of any other game released in the last six years in digital pre-orders. The report estimates that it surpasses Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II 's digital pre-orders by 148% , which ranks second in that comparison.
Also falling short are Marvel's Spider-Man 2 , Hogwarts Legacy , Diablo IV , and Cyberpunk 2077. This comparison helps to contextualize the size of the commercial expectation in the United States, but it does not make the estimate an official sales figure.
The game's marketing campaign has already included its launch trailer, featuring action scenes, vehicles, and clubs. You can check out those details in the GTA VI launch trailer.
Rockstar has not yet released the official information
For now, the 6,08 million figure is an external estimate and is limited to the digital format. To know the true reach of the pre-order campaign, we'll have to wait for Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive to share their figures and, above all, for the data on physical editions to be included.
