GTA 6 breaks pre-order records on PlayStation and Xbox stores

nl.ign.com (Dutch) — November 11, 2026 at 10:01 AM UTC

Grand Theft Auto 6 has broken pre-order records on both the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store, with Sony confirming it is the most pre-ordered game in PlayStation history. Exact sales figures have not been disclosed. According to sales tracker Sensor Tower, approximately 9.69 million copies have been pre-ordered, surpassing Cyberpunk 2077's previous record. Take-Two stated pre-orders exceed original expectations, and Microsoft confirmed the game will be playable on Xbox One via cloud gaming from November 19. Both Sony and Microsoft urge players to pre-download GTA 6 to avoid release-day issues. Rockstar announced 30 fps gameplay across all consoles, PS5 Pro graphical features, and DualSense controller support, while additional Rockstar titles will join Xbox Cloud Gaming.
