GTA 6 Pre-Orders Are Exceeding Expectations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Speaking to Variety<\/a>, Zelnick revealed that GTA 6 pre-orders are running far above the company’s internal projections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, he emphasized that Take-Two is not declaring victory before the game officially launches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pre-orders opened on June 25, 2026, giving players nearly five months to secure their copies before release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Take-Two has not disclosed specific pre-order figures, the company’s comments suggest exceptionally strong demand for Rockstar Games’ upcoming blockbuster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GTA 5 Reaches 235 Million Copies Sold<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Grand Theft Auto V continues to achieve impressive commercial results more than 13 years after its original release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Take-Two’s latest financial update, GTA 5 has now sold 235 million copies worldwide<\/strong>, an increase of five million units during the latest fiscal quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The milestone further strengthens GTA 5’s position among the best-selling video games of all time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With GTA 6 arriving on November 19 for PlayStation<\/a> 5 and Xbox Series X|S, attention will soon turn to whether Rockstar’s next installment can match or surpass its predecessor’s extraordinary success.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
