GTA 6 Pre-Orders vs Cyberpunk 2077: Has Rockstar Really Broken The Record?

GTA 6 pre-orders have reportedly hit an estimated 9.69 million, which would beat Cyberpunk 2077’s record of over 8 million. The catch? Take-Two hasn’t verified the number.

GTA 6 pre-orders have reportedly reached an estimated 9.69 million as of November 10, 2026, which would put Rockstar’s next game past Cyberpunk 2077’s pre-order record and the revenue at nearly $1 billion. The figure comes from Sensor Tower’s sales tracker and covers PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. There’s a catch, though. Neither Rockstar Games nor Take-Two Interactive has verified the number. It’s a tracker’s estimate, not an official record announced by the publisher. Having said that, Sensor Tower is one of the most respected trackers in the world and is known for getting its numbers right.

GTA 6 Pre-Orders Hit 9.69 Million, With PS5 In Front

Even as an estimate, the numbers are big. The tracker says 1.98 million pre-orders were added in the past week alone, and it puts revenue from advance purchases at around $942 million. Cyberpunk 2077 pre-orders had reached over 8 million.

PlayStation accounts for roughly three-quarters of the estimated orders, with Xbox making up the rest. PC isn’t part of the picture, since GTA 6 isn’t currently listed for it.

Take-Two hasn’t confirmed the figure, but it hasn’t played down demand either. On the company’s November 9 earnings call, CEO Strauss Zelnick said GTA 6 pre-sales had exceeded internal expectations. That supports the idea of strong demand without confirming Sensor Tower’s specific number.

Has GTA 6 Really Beaten Cyberpunk 2077’s Record?

Not yet, at least not on equal terms. CD PROJEKT RED shared Cyberpunk 2077’s pre-order figures on December 10, 2020, and that count included both physical and digital copies. The GTA 6 tracker only measures digital orders.

The platforms differ too. Cyberpunk 2077 launched on PS4, Xbox One, PC and Google Stadia, while GTA 6 is reaching its milestone on just two consoles.

For a final answer, we’ll have to wait for Take-Two, which plans to publish official pre-order figures after GTA 6 launches. That count will show whether the tracker was right.
