Take-Two says GTA 6 preorders are unprecedented; release date remains Nov. 19

Take-Two Interactive has described the volume of GTA 6 pre-orders as 'unprecedented', as it praises for Rockstar for the game's price. 

Following the launch of GTA 6 preorders in late June, it immediately became apparent that there was, unsurprisingly, huge demand for the game. Now, in a Take-Two earnings call, the publishing company's CEO said the number of preorders is "unprecedented" across the industry. Strauss Zelnick said, "No one's ever seen anything like this before at Take-Two, or in the industry." He went on to add that exceptional preorders don't always equal exceptional sales, though. "To be clear, we haven't sold one unit yet. You can cancel a preorder." While Zelnick declined to comment on sales expectations, he said, "The news is great so far, we're incredibly excited. We couldn't be more excited than we are, and yet we are realistic and, at best, cautiously optimistic. We're going to leave it at that until the thing occurs." He continued, "The level of preorders is unprecedented and astonishing, and we're grateful for that." The claims came after Take-Two affirmed that GTA 6 is not delayed further, and will still be releasing on November 19. The company also believes that its $80 price tag is "phenomenal value."
