GTA VI digital pre-orders pass a billion dollars, according to Sensor Tower
According to estimates by analytics firm Sensor Tower, a week before release digital pre-orders of Grand Theft Auto VI on PS5 and Xbox have passed a billion dollars, equal to about 10.31 million copies. Take-Two has not released official figures.
Grand Theft Auto VI, out on 19 November on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, has reportedly already passed a billion dollars in pre-orders. That is Sensor Tower's estimate, updated to 11 November and reported that day by GamesBeat: the figure would correspond to about 10.31 million copies pre-ordered digitally.
According to Sensor Tower tracker figures reported by the specialist press, about 7.73 million copies have been pre-ordered on PS5, worth about 751 million dollars (75% of the total), and about 2.58 million on Xbox Series X|S, worth about 250 million dollars (25%). On 5 November, according to GamesIndustry.biz, Sensor Tower estimated 7.71 million pre-orders, 74% of them on PS5.
These are third-party estimates of digital pre-orders only, not official figures, and Sensor Tower has not published its methodology. In its quarterly results presentation on 9 November, Take-Two did not say how many pre-orders the game has collected: CEO Strauss Zelnick said pre-orders continue to reach unprecedented levels, and the company said it will release official figures after launch.
GTA VI is a console-only release, so it does not appear in the Steam data Statcade tracks.
