GTA 6 Sells Nearly 8 Million Copies Before It Even Launches, Report Says
GTA 6 hasn't launched yet, but new estimates suggest Rockstar's blockbuster is already approaching 8 million sales.
Grand Theft Auto 6, the highly-anticipated open-world game from Rockstar Games, is generating unprecedented excitement before its release on November 19. Market intelligence firm Sensor Tower estimates that the game has sold a staggering 7.71 million copies ahead of launch, translating to an estimated $751 million in revenue. PlayStation accounts for 74% of these sales, while Xbox makes up the remaining 26%.
Despite not being playable yet, GTA 6 is already a strong contender in 2026's best-selling games list. Even major releases like NBA 2K27, Resident Evil: Requiem, and Call of Duty: Black Ops II haven't sold as many copies. With pre-order numbers likely to increase as the launch date approaches, GTA 6 is poised to be one of the biggest commercial releases of the year.
