Sony and Microsoft: GTA VI Is the Most Pre-Ordered Game in PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store History
PlayStation Blog and Xbox Wire both said it on November 10: GTA VI is the most pre-ordered game ever on each company’s store.
Confirmed — both platform holders said it themselves on November 10, 2026, in their own pre-load posts.
Sony, on PlayStation.Blog: “Grand Theft Auto VI is now the most pre-ordered game in the history of PlayStation Store.”
Microsoft, on Xbox Wire, calls it “the most pre-ordered title of all time on the Microsoft Store.” Xbox CEO Asha Sharma repeated the claim on X.
Reported, not confirmed: a Sensor Tower estimate, cited by RockstarINTEL, puts total pre-orders near 10 million. Take-Two has not given a number. CEO Strauss Zelnick has said the company cannot disclose it.
The limit of this story: each record covers that company’s own digital store only. Neither company gave a figure, and neither claimed GTA VI is the most pre-ordered game of all time across every store.
