As a longtime GTA fan, I’m still buzzing from the news — Grand Theft Auto 6 has shattered pre-order records even before its official release. According to industry analysts and retailer data, the game has already generated massive revenue through pre-orders alone, making it one of the biggest launches in gaming history.
While Rockstar has remained silent on exact figures, reliable estimates suggest GTA 6 has crossed $1.2 billion in pre-order revenue worldwide as of now. This number is expected to climb significantly closer to the Fall 2026 release date.
