Market Tracker Estimates GTA 6 Pre-Orders Near 10 Million With Heavy PS5 Lead

Grand Theft Auto 6 has reportedly accumulated nearly 10 million pre-orders ahead of release, generating almost $1 billion in gross revenue across console storefronts.

According to an update from video game research firm Sensor Tower and its GTA 6 sales tracker, the upcoming open-world title has reached an estimated 9.69 million total digital pre-purchases. That volume translates to approximately $942 million in gross revenue.

The tracker indicates a significant imbalance in platform distribution. PlayStation 5 accounts for 7.23 million units, or roughly 75% of all pre-orders, pulling in $703 million in gross revenue. Meanwhile, Xbox Series X|S stands at 2.46 million copies sold (25%), generating approximately $239 million.

While platform holders Sony and Microsoft retain their customary 30% storefront fees, the figures illustrate the broader console installation gap between the two systems. Despite trailing in total units, Xbox executives previously noted that GTA 6 pre-orders are breaking internal records on Microsoft's platform and aligning with the hardware's existing market share.

If the data holds, GTA 6 has already eclipsed historical pre-order benchmarks, including the 8 million pre-purchases logged by Cyberpunk 2077 prior to its launch. Sensor Tower currently projects that cumulative GTA 6 pre-orders could reach as high as 25 million copies by launch day, which would place console distribution at roughly 18.5 million on PS5 and 6.5 million on Xbox Series X|S if the current three-to-one ratio continues.
