- GTA 6 has reportedly reached 9.7 million pre-orders just a week ahead of the launch.
- It overtakes Cyberpunk 2077 to become the most pre-ordered game of all time.
- Its revenue could cross $1 billion even before launch, with 75% of sales on the PS5.
There was no doubt that GTA 6 would be a humongous commercial success. Fans have been waiting for it for such a long time, and the delays only added to the massive anticipation; the sales numbers are already record-breaking.
GTA 6 pre-orders have reportedly reached nearly 9.7 million, making it the most pre-ordered game of all time. The record was previously held by Cyberpunk 2077, which reached an outstanding 8 million pre-orders.
Why it matters: If there was one game that could’ve broken this record, it would’ve been Rockstar’s flagship release. But this also shows how big of an impact CD Projekt games have on the industry as well.
According to Sensor Tower, GTA 6 is currently sitting at 9.69 million pre-orders. The revenue is estimated to be $942 million, which means it might hit a billion dollars even before the official release in a week.
The revenue is split 75/25 between PlayStation and Xbox, with the former obviously having the bigger share. What makes the numbers even more impressive is that there are no discs, no PC port at launch, and just consoles.
With the launch closer than ever, there could never be anymore hype. Thousands of workers have taken the day off specifically for the title, and even the US police are anticipating it to catch a breath.
