GTA 6 Now the Most Preordered Game in PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store History, Official Preload Warning Issued
Sony has confirmed that GTA 6 is now the most preordered game in PlayStation Store history, although it failed to put a number on it. Microsoft hasn’t made an announcement on GTA 6 preorders for Xbox Series X and S.
GTA 6 has surpassed all previous records to become the most preordered game in both PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store history, according to official announcements. The game's preloading feature has been made available ahead of its worldwide release on November 19, as noted by Sony Interactive Entertainment Content Communications Manager, Tim Turi.
While Sony has not disclosed the exact number of preorders, data from sales tracking firm Sensor Tower indicates that GTA 6 has already sold 9.69 million units, surpassing Cyberpunk 2077's sales figures. Rockstar's parent company, Take-Two, stated that GTA 6 preorders are far exceeding initial expectations. Some gamers are reportedly diverting their spending towards GTA 6, postponing purchases of other recent titles.
Microsoft has confirmed that GTA 6 will be playable on Xbox Series X, S, and even Xbox One via Cloud Gaming, though not on PC or mobile devices. The company will introduce more Rockstar games to Xbox Cloud Gaming, such as Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, in the coming months. Both Sony and Microsoft have urged gamers to preload the game as soon as possible due to the immense demand, suggesting that players who have purchased the code-in-box version should activate their code as soon as it arrives to start preloading.
Rockstar has also revealed some performance specs for GTA 6, including 30fps across all consoles, integrated speakers, haptic feedback, and adaptive triggers on PS5's DualSense wireless controllers.
