Grand Theft Auto 6 has become the most pre-ordered game on the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store.
Sensor Tower’s GTA 6 sales tracker currently estimates nearly 9.69 million pre-orders worldwide, generating $942 million in revenue.
These figures have risen significantly in one week. On November 7, the tracker reported nearly eight million pre-orders and $751 million in revenue.
GTA 6 pre-orders have exceeded expectations for Rockstar’s parent company Take-Two Interactive.
“[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,” Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick recently told GamesIndustry.biz.
“We’re maintaining our guidance, because the release is only 10 days away and we’ll know a lot more after the release.”
In Take-Two’s recent Q2 results, Zelnick said the company expects to “deliver a historic year” as a result of GTA 6’s launch.
Since November 10, GTA 6 has been available to pre-load on PlayStation and Xbox.
