10 million estimate for GTA 6 pre-orders

The GTA 6 store record was confirmed with the official statements made by Sony and Microsoft yesterday. The game became the most pre-ordered game of all time in both companies' stores. But what is surprising is that the majority of players do not need to pre-order.

GTA 6 store record and 10 million estimate

According to Sensor Tower's estimated data, the number of pre-orders may exceed 10 million. This figure is not an official statement, but a calculation. Sony and Microsoft only said that the game was the most pre-ordered game in their stores.

According to the same estimates, the game generated over $1 billion in revenue from pre-orders alone. Sales figures are expected to exceed this on the release day. Therefore, the GTA 6 store record may only be the beginning of the real sales wave.

Why don't players pre-order?

For most players abroad, pre-ordering doesn't seem necessary. There are two reasons for this. First, there will be no change in price at launch. In other words, both those who buy early and those who buy on the release day will pay the same price.

Second, high-speed internet connections. The pre-download advantage for players does not mean much either, because they can download the game in a short time on the release day. That's why many people choose to wait.

What could be the release date?

Despite this, the fact that GTA 6 store record is being talked about means that players who did not pre-order may flock to the stores on the release day. Moreover, this is just an expectation. The exact numbers will become clear after the game goes on sale.
