GTA 6 is the most pre-ordered game ever on PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store
A named outlet reported this and Rockstar Games has not confirmed it, so details can still change. See the source
Sony says GTA VI is now the most pre-ordered game in PlayStation Store history, and Microsoft says the same for the Microsoft Store. Neither company shared actual numbers, and Sony did not say which game held the record before.
On the PlayStation Blog, Sony cited "unprecedented demand" and advised anyone who wants to play on launch day to preload right away. Owners of the code-in-a-box version can redeem their code as soon as they have it to start the preload. The game unlocks with a rolling midnight launch by country starting on November 19.
Sales tracker Sensor Tower estimates GTA VI has passed 9.69 million preorder units, though that figure is an outside estimate. Take-Two has said preorders are well above its initial expectations. For players, the practical takeaway is to get the download done early, since heavy store traffic is likely around launch.
