GTA 6 has reached an estimated 6.45 million digital pre-orders globally, valued at approximately $630 million net of returns, according to Sensor Tower’s latest weekly update. PlayStation leads with 74% of the total, accounting for 4.80 million copies and $468 million, while Xbox holds 1.66 million copies and $162 million. The figures reflect a surge of 370,000 additional pre-orders in roughly one week, following the October 13 count of 6.08 million.
In the US, GTA 6 is 148% ahead of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2022) at the same pre-launch stage, making it the strongest performer among major releases tracked over the past six years. These are third-party estimates covering digital sales only; Take-Two has not confirmed any official numbers. CEO Strauss Zelnick noted in August that pre-orders were favoring the $100 Ultimate Edition, and Sensor Tower now confirms the vast majority of buyers selected that version.
PlayStation has maintained its lead since tracking began in June, holding about 77% of 4.86 million pre-orders in late August—though the firm adjusted its estimation model on October 5, limiting direct comparisons. Xbox’s smaller share may be influenced by US Xbox hardware sales hitting an all-time low this year. GTA 6 launches on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and pre-order numbers are expected to continue rising.
