Sounds amazing, but without any claim or report!
Rockstar Games has already started the pre-orders for GTA 6 and the hype for this game is unreal. The game is still scheduled to launch on November 19, 2026.
For now, the company has not revealed any official sales figures or details. However, there are already some rumors which sounds absoultely absurd. Let’s check out whether those sales figures are true or not.
Are GTA 6 pre-order sales figures true or not?
According to a ValueEntertainment post on X, Rockstar Games has surpassed 39 million pre-order sales and $3 billion in revenue.
For now, ValueEntertainment has provided any concrete proof or source for the numbers. So for now, these reports are false!
These figures are absolutely insane. The game is priced at $79.99, while the Ultimate Edition costs $99.99 and includes exclusive in-game content and bonuses.
Also, according to the latest reports, the pre-orders on PlayStation 5 are outperforming Xbox Series X/S by 6-to-1.
Retailers have also warned of the high demand for the console and there might be a shortage of consoles during the game launch.
According to the previous reports, GTA 5 had some 7 million pre-orders before it was launched in 2013. Ever since then, Rockstar has gained popularity as a result of the ongoing success of GTA Online and Red Dead Redemption 2.
GTA 6 is expected to bring in more than 10 million copies sold pre-order, based on how much revenue the game earned before it was released, according to industry research firm DFC Intelligence.
Conclusion
Based on the recent criticism for not having a physical disc and locking some content behind the Ultimate Edition, these reports from ValueEntertainment seem pretty false.
There is no doubt that Rockstar Games has sold an insane amount of copies from the GTA 6 pre-orders, but for now, we have to wait for the official numbers. We will keep you guys updated once the official sales figures are out.
