GTA 6 Preorders Reportedly Top $750 Million Two Weeks Before Launch

Grand Theft Auto VI is already on track to be one of the biggest launches in gaming history, and it has not hit shelves yet. According to estimates compiled by analytics firm Sensor Tower, preorders for the game across PlayStation 5 and Xbox have passed $750 million, with the release now roughly two weeks away.

It is worth being clear about where that number comes from. Sensor Tower builds its figures from modeled market data rather than from publisher disclosures, and Rockstar's parent company, Take-Two Interactive, does not routinely publish preorder totals. The figure should be read as an outside estimate, not an official sales record. Even so, a total of this size is a strong signal of demand, and it arrives as the industry watches to see whether the franchise can match the scale of its past launches.

The estimate, as described, covers the two major console platforms. That leaves out PC, so the true combined figure could be higher, though the source does not say how large any PC contribution might be.

Preorder totals are a useful early read but not a final scorecard. Preorders tend to reflect the most committed players, and launch-week sales, retail performance and sustained engagement will determine whether the commercial story lives up to the early momentum. For now, the number gives the game a large head start and sets a high bar for the release itself.
