GTA VI hits 9.69 million pre-orders, overtakes Cyberpunk 2077 — Sensor Tower report

According to Sensor Tower’s tracked data, Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto VI has reached 9.69 million pre-orders ahead of its November 19, 2026 launch, making it the most pre-ordered video game on record, the report said. The figures were reported on November 11, 2026 and come one week before the scheduled release.

Sensor Tower’s estimate places GTA VI above Cyberpunk 2077, which had roughly 8 million pre-orders before its launch, and values the current pre-order revenue at about $942 million. These are industry estimates rather than official sales figures, and Take-Two’s chief executive has said the company will disclose original sales and performance numbers after the game’s release.

The Sensor Tower data suggests the title could surpass 10 million pre-orders and the $1 billion pre-order revenue threshold if the current pace continues. The report frames those outcomes as attainable before launch based on existing momentum.

Platform breakdown in the Sensor Tower estimates attributes around 75% of pre-orders to PlayStation 5 and approximately 25% to Xbox Series X|S. The report also notes there is no PC version at present and that a PC release is expected sometime in 2027, with additional sales anticipated from that platform.

Rockstar Games has confirmed technical and release details included in the reporting: the game will run at 30 fps on all supported consoles and has gone gold. The company says GTA VI will release on November 19, 2026 for PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X/S without facing any delays.

Take-Two’s statement that official sales and performance figures will be revealed after launch remains the next confirmed milestone; the November 19, 2026 release will precede those disclosures. Reported pre-order totals and the forthcoming official numbers will determine final ranking among all-time pre-order records.
