Rockstar and Take-Two have never published preorder counts for Grand Theft Auto VI. No official number exists, and neither company has commented on how many copies were reserved after preorders opened on June 25, 2026.
Analyst estimates are the only numbers out there. In August 2026, a few industry analysts suggested preorder revenue could exceed $1 billion globally by launch, based on retailer signals and the game’s $79.99 standard price. That is an estimate, not a Rockstar figure, and it is not broken down by region or platform.
What we actually know
- Preorders opened June 25, 2026, for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only.
- Pricing for the base game sits at $79.99, while the Ultimate tier runs $99.99.
- PS5 preorders include a month of GTA+.
- Standard preorders get the Vintage Vice City Pack if ordered before November 20.
Take-Two typically reports sell-through, not preorders, in its earnings calls. The next quarterly report is expected in November 2026, likely after launch, so it may disclose initial sales rather than reservation totals. Until then, any specific preorder number you see online is a guess, so check our pre-order guide for what is actually confirmed.
