GTA VI Breaks GTA V Record Ahead of Release as Analysts Detail Preorders

GTA VI has surpassed 10 million preorders and generated more than $1 billion in revenue for Rockstar Games before release, according to estimates from Sensor Tower analysts.

The updated estimates follow confirmation that GTA VI became the most preordered game on the PlayStation Store.

Sensor Tower previously reported that GTA VI had significantly surpassed Cyberpunk 2077’s preorder total. In its updated estimate, the firm said players placed another 620,000 preorders in the past 24 hours, bringing the total to more than 10 million copies.

Sensor Tower estimates that preorder sales have already generated more than $1 billion in revenue. If the figures are confirmed, Rockstar Games will break its own record.

GTA V took three days after its September 2013 release to generate $1 billion. It still holds the title of the fastest release to reach that revenue milestone. GTA VI could surpass its predecessor’s achievement before it reaches store shelves.
