GTA 6 reportedly passes $1bn in pre-sales

Several outlets reported on 11 November 2026 that GTA 6 has passed $1bn in pre-sales about a week before launch. Rockstar and Take-Two haven't confirmed the figure.
How much has GTA 6 made in pre-sales?
The Washington Post, Insider Gaming and GamingBolt all reported on 11 November 2026 that GTA 6 has passed $1bn in pre-sales roughly a week before release. GamingBolt also put the figure at around 10 million copies sold ahead of launch.
Rockstar and Take-Two haven't confirmed any of these numbers. Treat them as a rumour for now, since the figures come from outlets rather than an official statement.
When does GTA 6 come out?
GTA 6 is due on 19 November 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. No PC version has been announced.
If the reported pre-sales figure holds, it would put the game among the biggest launches the industry has seen before a single copy has been played by the public.
What happens next?
Official sales data usually follows a launch, so firmer numbers should appear once the game is out and tracked by firms like Circana. Until then, the $1bn figure is an unconfirmed report.
What we're still waiting on
- Rockstar or Take-Two confirming the $1bn pre-sales figure
- Official sales data after launch
