TelegramWhat Sony and Microsoft said
IGN reported on 10 Nov 2026 that Sony confirmed on the PlayStation Blog that GTA 6 is now the most preordered game in PlayStation Store history. Sony cited “unprecedented demand” and gave no number. Microsoft also confirmed GTA 6 is the most preordered title on the Microsoft Store.
Both companies advise players to preload as soon as possible, because demand next week could be heavy. Sony says players with the code-in-box version can activate their code and start preloading right away.
Separately, Sensor Tower estimates 9.69 million units “sold” so far. That is a tracker estimate, not an official figure. Take-Two said this week that preorders are tracking far in excess of its initial expectations.
GTA 6 launches on 19 November 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, with a rolling local-midnight release.
