This statement clearly suggests that this game is moving towards a record-breaking launch when it arrives on November 19, 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

GTA 6 pre-sales far exceeded Take-Two’s expectations

In the latest Take-Two earnings report, CEO Strauss Zelnick said that the publishers were really pleased with the game’s performance so far and that they are fully focused on the full launch.

“That’s a good thing. That said, we never claim success before it occurs,” Zelnick said

For now, neither Rockstar or Take-Two has revealed the exact number yet; however, Strauss Zelnick has confirmed that more information about the commercial performance of GTA VI will be shared after the launch.
