Grand Theft Auto 6 is already making history. GTA 6 launches next Thursday, November 19. It is the most anticipated game of its generation, and the pre-order information already being shared confirms that.
GTA 6 Pre-Orders Make History for PlayStation and XBOX
PlayStation has already confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6 is the most pre-ordered game in the platform’s history. Asha Sharma, the CEO of the XBOX brand, also confirmed that the game is the most pre-ordered title ever on the Microsoft Store. She made this announcement while confirming a new 10-year strategic partnership with Take-Two Interactive.
To celebrate the game’s imminent release and its record-breaking pre-orders on the PlayStation Store, Rockstar Games and PlayStation released a new GTA 6 trailer earlier today. The trailer once again hypes up a game that doesn’t need much more hype, while also focusing on why GTA 6 “plays better” on the PlayStation 5.
Take-Two CEO Comments on GTA 6 Pre-Orders
Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick recently noted that pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto 6 exceeded internal expectations. When pressed further about those initial expectations, he told GamesIndustry.biz that while they weren’t ready to fully disclose the numbers, they would know much more once the game releases next week.
[We cannot] disclose the numbers, but the point that we’re making is our prior expectations obviously were aligned with our guidance, and the pre-orders are far exceeding our original expectations. We’re maintaining our guidance, because the release is only 10 days away and we’ll know a lot more after the release.
We’re in the home stretch of the most anticipated video game launch in quite some time. Insider Gaming will continue to monitor all things Grand Theft Auto 6, share any new information leading up to the release, and provide plenty of coverage after.
