GTA 6 digital pre-orders climb to 6.45 million, with PlayStation in the lead
Sensor Tower estimates put pre-order revenue above $600 million, with the PS5 responsible for 74% of the total — nearly triple Xbox's share.
The numbers behind the pre-order rush
Estimates from market analytics firm Sensor Tower, circulated by multiple outlets and specialized accounts around October 20, 2026, suggest GTA 6 has now racked up roughly 6.45 million digital pre-orders worldwide. PlayStation 5 reportedly accounts for about 74% of that total — close to 4.80 million copies — while Xbox Series X|S takes the remaining 26% or so.
In revenue terms, the PlayStation slice alone is estimated at around $468 million, according to figures shared by pages like NeoGAF and GamerForecast citing Sensor Tower as the source. Combined across both platforms, total estimated pre-order revenue tops $600 million — before the game has even launched on November 19.
A lead that was already expected
PlayStation 5's lead in GTA 6 pre-orders isn't a surprise: Sony has held a long-running marketing partnership with the franchise since the 2000s, and Rockstar Games has previously confirmed that much of the game's promotional material and special editions prominently feature the PlayStation brand. Earlier Sensor Tower snapshots from October already showed this ratio holding steady as overall pre-order numbers climbed — from roughly 4.38 million units earlier in the month to the latest 6.45 million figure.
It's worth noting these numbers are estimates from a market analytics firm using its own tracking methodology, not official figures released by Rockstar Games, Take-Two Interactive, Sony, or Microsoft. Historically, Sensor Tower's estimates have tended to land close to actual figures for major releases, though most pre-orders for a game of this scale typically arrive in the final week or two before launch.
What to expect before launch
With digital pre-loading set for November 12, 2026 and launch on November 19, the market expects pre-order momentum to accelerate significantly in the coming weeks — especially once the first critic scores land, which, according to a recent leak, could come as early as November 18, the day before launch.
