Rockstar’s upcoming game Grand Theft Auto 6 is drawing major commercial figures before release, according to separate estimates cited by multiple outlets. One analysis using preorder data puts revenue from preorders at more than $750 million across PlayStation 5 and Xbox, roughly two weeks ahead of the stated release date.
Other reporting focuses on units rather than revenue. Polygon and Kotaku both cite a data firm estimate suggesting GTA 6 is already approaching nearly 8 million copies sold prior to launch. While neither set of articles indicates the figures come from official publisher sales, all coverage frames the numbers as estimates from analytics or data companies.
Across the reports, the shared thrust is that GTA 6 is already performing strongly in the lead-up to release. The main differences are whether outlets emphasize projected preorder revenue or estimated copy sales, and how they describe the timing relative to launch.
