Rockstar Games opened Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders on June 25, and the early numbers being floated are huge<\/strong>. Reports say GTA 6 pre-orders on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X\/S may have generated as much as $1 billion in the first hour alone. That’s a staggering claim, but it still hasn’t been confirmed. Some reports push the estimate even higher, to $3 billion in the first 24 hours and roughly 39 million units sold. Neither Rockstar Games nor Take-Two Interactive has published official figures, so take all of that with a fair amount of skepticism.<\/p>\n

The obvious comparison is Grand Theft Auto 5<\/a>. Back in 2013, GTA 5 made $800 million<\/strong> on day one and hit $1 billion after three days. This time, analysts are expecting something even bigger for Grand Theft Auto 6. Morgan Stanley has projected 40 million units in four months, other forecasts land between 30 million and 35 million by the end of 2026, and the most bullish predictions go as high as 50 million to 60 million in the first year.<\/p>\n\n

If you’re planning to pick up Grand Theft Auto 6 at launch, these reports are worth keeping an eye on. Take-Two Interactive stock is up nearly 3%<\/strong>, PlayStation 5 pre-orders are reportedly running ahead of Xbox, and there’s also talk that the boxed edition may come with a download code rather than a disc.<\/p>\n\n

You can pre-order Grand Theft Auto 6 now ahead of its November 19, 2026<\/strong> release. The standard edition costs $79.99 in the US, about \u00a370 in the UK, and \u20ac80 across much of Europe. There’s also an Ultimate Edition.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
