Overview
- Third‑party analytics firm Sensor Tower estimates about 7.71 million digital pre‑orders for Grand Theft Auto VI, generating roughly $751 million in revenue.
- Sensor Tower’s tracker shows a steep platform skew with roughly 74% of digital pre‑orders on PlayStation 5 and 26% on Xbox Series X|S.
- The firm’s breakdown translates to an estimated 5.74 million PS5 copies and $559 million in revenue versus about 1.97 million Xbox copies and $192 million in revenue.
- Those figures cover digital pre‑orders only and are third‑party estimates, so they exclude physical sales and have not been confirmed by Rockstar Games or parent company Take‑Two Interactive.
- Analysts compare the momentum to GTA V’s strong first‑day showing in 2013 and say the data could foreshadow a very large launch, though final, publisher‑issued totals will determine how the games actually compare.
