GTA 6 has passed 10 million copies and roughly $1 billion a week before it unlocks, according to Sensor Tower. The market data firm updated its GTA VI sales tracker on 11 November 2026, as GameSpot and The Washington Post reported. These are its own estimates, not figures from Rockstar or Take-Two.
The new numbers
- Total: 10.31 million pre-purchased units, about $1 billion in gross revenue, GameSpot says.
- PS5: 7.73 million units and $751 million, 75% of the mix.
- Xbox Series X|S: 2.58 million units and $250 million, 25% of the mix.
- By launch: Sensor Tower projects as many as 25 million pre-purchases, according to GameSpot.
Up 620,000 since 10 November
The tracker showed 9.69 million copies and $942M when it was last updated on 10 November. Against that, the new figure is up by 620,000 copies: 500,000 on PS5 and 120,000 on Xbox. The PS5 and Xbox revenue together come to $1,001 million, so about $59 million more, and the split stays at 75% to 25%.
Divide the revenue by the units and it is still about $97 a copy, on both consoles. That sits between the US prices Take-Two announced in June, $79.99 for the standard edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition. The reports give no split by edition.
GameSpot adds that, if the number is real, it beats the pre-order record of 8 million set by Cyberpunk 2077. That comparison is GameSpot’s, not Sensor Tower’s.
Take-Two’s results of 9 November still give no pre-order count, only that pre-orders are “continuing to reach unprecedented levels”. The estimate sits in our claims register as unconfirmed.
Still deciding? What a pre-order gets you covers the bonus and the pre-load, and the GTA 6 sales page tracks every estimate so far.
