That changes how you read the charts, since PlayStation Store rankings are based on revenue, not raw units sold. Kuwait and Taiwan appear to be the outliers, with reports suggesting Grand Theft Auto 6 is either unavailable there or banned.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re planning to buy Grand Theft Auto 6, take the chart performance as a real early signal, but be careful with the numbers flying around online. Claims of <strong>39 million pre-orders<\/strong>, $3 billion in first-day revenue, and an eight-to-one PlayStation 5 lead over Xbox haven\u2019t been verified. Microsoft has pushed back on the platform split and says Xbox demand is at a record high.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rockstar may also be giving digital sales a boost by reportedly putting only a download code inside the boxed copy. <strong>No disc.<\/strong> Some buyers and retailers aren\u2019t happy about that, but it does give Rockstar tighter control over leaks, launch messaging, and resale. You can pre-order Grand Theft Auto 6 now on PlayStation 5 through Sony\u2019s PlayStation Store ahead of the 19 November 2026 launch. Other publishers are reportedly shifting release dates to stay out of its way, Take-Two Interactive says anticipation is unmatched, and Rockstar staff are seeking union recognition after last year\u2019s firing dispute.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grand Theft Auto 6 hit Sony\u2019s PlayStation Store for pre-order on 25 June 2026, and it quickly climbed to the top of the sales charts in the US, UK, Japan, South Korea, and much of Europe.
