With roughly a week to go before Grand Theft Auto 6 launches, pre-launch estimates have hit a new milestone. According to analyst firm Sensor Tower, which touted $751 million in revenue on November 4th, it now claims over $1 billion with 10.31 million units reportedly sold.
PS5 still allegedly dominates the sales breakdown at 75 percent (7.73 million), while Xbox apparently makes up 25 percent (2.58 million). What’s interesting is that reported PlayStation revenue alone has already equaled last week’s overall estimate. If GTA 6 stopped selling right now, Rockstar would have made an additional $250 million in revenue from Xbox alone.
Of course, it bears remembering these are just estimates, and not the final figures. Officially, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick said that pre-orders were running “far in excess” of the company’s expectations. The wait is on to see how the numbers pan out on launch day. However, with PlayStation and Xbox proclaiming it the most pre-ordered title on their storefronts ever, it looks to be a smash hit.
Grand Theft Auto 6 launches on November 19th for Xbox Series X/S and PS5. Rockstar recently confirmed it runs at 30 FPS on all platforms, though PS5 Pro benefits from PSSR for improved image clarity and ray-traced shadows.
