How many people have already pre-ordered GTA 6? According to a Sensor Tower estimate reported by HardwareCooking, the game reached 9.69 million digital console pre-orders as of November 10, worth roughly $942 million net of refunds. Neither Rockstar nor Take-Two has confirmed a figure.

What does the estimate say?

Per HardwareCooking, PlayStation accounts for about 75% of the total, or 7.23 million copies and $703 million, against 2.46 million copies and $239 million for Xbox. The average basket is around $97, which suggests many buyers picked the $100 Ultimate edition, sold digitally only.

The trend is steep: Sensor Tower counted 6.45 million pre-orders at the end of October, then 7.71 million a week before November 10. Nearly two million copies would have been added in seven days.

Is the number official?

No. level-1.fr stresses that these are third-party estimates covering digital console orders only, not physical sales. What is official is the record itself: Sony calls GTA 6 the most pre-ordered game in PlayStation Store history and Microsoft claims the same for its store, with no figure. We covered it in our piece on the store records, and Take-Two had already described pre-orders as "unprecedented" in its quarterly update.

The 75/25 split fits the gap in audience between the two platforms, but it remains an extrapolation. Pricing details are on the price page.

Why it matters

Nothing changes for players: the game launches November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and pre-load is open. But the figure hints at the scale of the launch well before Take-Two's first official numbers. Only the publisher's own communication will say what has really sold.
