It was always safe to assume that GTA 6 would sell millions of copies before release day thanks to excited fans of the series placing pre-orders. Now we have data not only confirming exactly that, but also that GTA 6 has become the most pre-ordered game ever with nine days still to go.

That's according to the latest data shared by Sensor Tower. According to the data analysist site, GTA 6 has been pre-ordered 9.69 million times so far across PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. That will net Rockstar and Take-Two Interactive almost $1 billion in revenue before anyone has even played the game, and means Cyberpunk 2077's long-standing record has been broken.

Cyberpunk set the record for most pre-orders ever almost exactly six years ago when eight million of you committed to the game before it had been released. A lot of you were left disappointed due to the fact Cyberpunk then went on to have one of the most infamously disastrous launches in gaming history. It has redeemed itself multiple times over since then, and the odds of GTA 6 falling foul of the same fate are basically zero.

98 million times in the last week alone, clearly due to the hype for the game really starting to ramp up with less than two weeks to go until launch. That almost certainly means GTA 6 will rack up another two million pre-orders between now and release day, amassing a record that may never be broken.
