Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 6 releases on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and the game is breaking records before it even releases.
Sony announced today that GTA 6 is now the most preordered game in PlayStation Store history. Exactly which game it beat to claim the record is unknown, however.
In September, Xbox's Matthew Ball said GTA 6 had broken Xbox records, too, though he didn't clarify which ones. Today, November 10, Microsoft confirmed that GTA 6 is the most preordered game in Microsoft Store history.
Xbox CEO Asha Sharma said Microsoft and Take-Two have agreed to terms on a new 10-year "strategic partnership." She didn't clarify what this means, however.
Beyond these records, Circana recently announced that GTA 6 set a new purchase intent record, with nearly 1 in 3 US console and PC gamers saying they plan to buy the game.
According to Sensor Tower, GTA 6 has sold around 10 million copies so far, generating close to $1 billion. The game could climb to 25 million units sold and $2 billion in revenue before the game even launches.
GTA 6 is expected to break even more records when it releases. GTA 5, for example, brought in $800 million in revenue over its first 24 hours and $1 billion in its first three days--those records are expected to be beaten by GTA 6.
GTA 5 has sold more than 235 million units to date , and GTA 6 won't catch up anytime soon, if it ever does.
