Grand Theft Auto VI has just broken all pre-order records across the major console digital storefronts. This is a massive feat from Rockstar Games as they see a huge amount of pre-orders for the game coming soon in 2026. This is a huge achievement and sets a new benchmark in the industry. Clearly console gamers can't get enough of the GTA series.

Sensor Town data indicates massive demand for Rockstar's upcoming open-world title

Grand Theft Auto VI is set to launch on the 19th of November 2026 for PS5 and |S consoles. It is the highest pre-ordered game in PlayStation Store history. Xbox numbers in Microsoft Store has shown the title to be a record-breaking pre-order number for the Xbox platform.

Sensor Town, market intelligence firm reports pre-order counts of 9.69 million copies. This has blown past the pre-orders for Cyberpunk 2077 in terms of pre-orders. They estimate that the pre-orders are worth a massive 942 million dollars.

These are estimates from Sensor Town's data. There are no actual details from Sony or Microsoft to back this up. The release is still going ahead for late 2026.

So we have plenty of time to prepare for the launch of the game. This huge pre-order success shows that there is a huge demand for the next open-world game coming soon.
