GTA 6 business and investor hub
As of October 26, 2026, Take-Two has called its GTA 6 pre-orders an exceptional start, the game launches on November 19, 2026, and GTA VI: The Album and a separate Vice City Collection box arrive alongside it. Here is the commercial picture, with every figure attributed.
Why GTA 6 matters commercially
Take-Two, Rockstar's corporate parent, said on August 7, 2026 that Grand Theft Auto V has sold in more than 230 million units and that its fiscal 2027 outlook reflects a high degree of confidence around the November 19 release of GTA 6. Pre-orders opened on June 25, 2026 with confirmed US pricing of $79.99 Standard and $99.99 Ultimate, and the game launches November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S.
What Take-Two has said
In its fiscal Q1 2027 results on August 7, 2026, Take-Two reported net bookings of $1,385.9 million across all of its titles, reiterated a fiscal 2027 outlook of $8.0 to $8.2 billion and guided Q2 to $1.62 to $1.67 billion; its prepared remarks described an “exceptional start to pre-orders”. On the call CEO Strauss Zelnick called the level of pre-orders unprecedented, Shacknews reported, and did not release a unit count; none of those company figures is a GTA 6 pre-order total.
On August 10, Zelnick told CNBC that pre-orders skew to the Ultimate edition (reported); Sensor Tower estimated about 89 percent Ultimate in August, reported by TechRadar. Its latest estimate is about 7.71 million digital pre-orders worth about $751 million, 74 percent on PlayStation, as Dexerto reported on November 4. Newzoo estimated roughly $260 million in the first week. At the September 17 annual meeting, Zelnick said PC is becoming more important to the company and gave no PC date for GTA 6 (reported by PC Gamer). Take-Two also said Rockstar will keep supporting the existing GTA Online after GTA 6 launches and described GTA 6 as a single-player game (reported by Beebom). All of these are estimates or reported remarks, not company guidance for GTA 6.
What launches alongside the game
Two confirmed commercial items arrive with the launch. GTA VI: The Album (Atlantic Records) has 34 original tracks and comes out on November 19 with the game, with physical editions on the official store. The Goodtime State, Vice City Collection is a separate limited Collector's Box of 11 themed items, sold separately from the game, shipping from November 19; Vice reports its price at $399.99, and Kotaku rounds it to $400. The game itself is not in that box.
What to watch
- Pre-order demand: pre-orders opened June 25, 2026 at $79.99 / $99.99 (US); Take-Two has reported strong early uptake but no official total.
- November 19, 2026: launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S, the main event.
- Online: no GTA 6 online mode, name, features or date has been announced. Take-Two said on September 17 that the existing GTA Online keeps getting support after GTA 6 launches (reported by Beebom).
- PC version: not announced.
- Next Take-Two earnings: fiscal Q2 2027 results on Monday, November 9, 2026, after the US market closes (call at 4:30 p.m. ET). The quarter ended September 30, so it carries pre-order commentary, not launch sales.
What has not been disclosed
Take-Two has disclosed no pre-order unit count, no pre-order revenue figure and no platform split.

How are GTA 6 pre-orders going?
Take-Two called it an "exceptional start to pre-orders" in its August 7, 2026 fiscal Q1 prepared remarks and did not release a unit count. CEO Strauss Zelnick called the level of pre-orders unprecedented on the earnings call, Shacknews reported, and said on CNBC that pre-orders skew to the Ultimate edition (reported); Sensor Tower estimated about 89 percent Ultimate (reported by TechRadar). Treat the estimates as estimates: Rockstar and Take-Two have not published a pre-order total.
Did Take-Two give GTA 6 sales guidance?
Not for GTA 6 specifically. On August 7, 2026, Take-Two reported fiscal Q1 net bookings of $1,385.9 million across all titles and reiterated a fiscal 2027 outlook of $8.0 to $8.2 billion, with Q2 guidance of $1.62 to $1.67 billion. Those figures cover the whole company, not GTA 6 alone.
