Grand Theft Auto VI has reportedly become the most pre-ordered game in PlayStation and Xbox digital store history, setting new records ahead of its November 19, 2026 release.
With just over a week remaining until launch, Rockstar Games’ highly anticipated open-world title is already achieving major commercial milestones.
According to recent statements reported by Insider Gaming, GTA VI has broken pre-order records on both the PlayStation Store and Microsoft’s Xbox storefront.

GTA 6 Sets New PlayStation and Xbox Pre-Order Records
PlayStation has reportedly confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI is its most pre-ordered game to date.
Meanwhile, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma reportedly revealed that GTA VI has also become the most pre-ordered title in Microsoft Store history.
The Xbox announcement reportedly accompanied news of a new 10-year strategic partnership between Microsoft and Take-Two Interactive.
Rockstar Games and PlayStation have also released a new GTA VI trailer highlighting the upcoming launch and the game’s PlayStation 5 experience.
Take-Two Says GTA 6 Pre-Orders Exceeded Expectations
Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick recently indicated that GTA VI pre-orders have significantly exceeded the company’s original expectations.
However, Take-Two has not disclosed exact pre-order figures.
The reported records therefore highlight the game’s exceptional demand, although they do not establish a verified worldwide pre-order total across all platforms and retailers.
Grand Theft Auto VI launches November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
