Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick recently revealed that Grand Theft Auto 6’s pre-sales are far ahead of the company’s expectations. So it’s unsurprising that Sony should announce it as the “most pre-ordered game” in the entire history of the PlayStation Store.
Not to be outdone, Xbox also confirmed that it’s the Microsoft Store’s most pre-ordered title. This could include both console and PC offerings, even though only the Xbox Series X/S can play it next week (at least, for now).
Of course, Xbox has other reasons to celebrate, including GTA 6 supporting Xbox Cloud Gaming out of the gate, which encompasses Xbox One. With the company’s recent changes to cloud gaming and monetizing additional hours, Rockstar could help boost its new business model. Then again, with analyst firms like Sensor Tower claiming Xbox makes up 26 percent of all sales, that remains to be seen.
Xbox Cloud Gaming will also only offer Series S-quality visuals, even for current-gen players. All platforms will run at 30 frames per second, and while Rockstar hasn’t discussed the PS5 and Xbox Series X boasting higher fidelity, you’d think it’s a given.
Grand Theft Auto 6 launches on November 19th, with pre-loading now available. Check out the latest trailer, featuring a new song by Tove Lo.
