GTA 6 preorders reportedly dwarf other major games months ahead of launch
GTA 6 is slated for release this November, and early preorder figures suggest its launch will be massive. New data points to a staggering lead for Rockstar's upcoming crime epic over its competition, according to a report from GameSpot.
Analytics firm Sensor Tower compiled preorder numbers for major AAA games released over the last six years. The list includes titles like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 from 2022, Diablo 4 from 2023, and Hogwarts Legacy.
The data reportedly shows that GTA 6's preorders, as tracked on mobile platforms, are already 148% ahead of the next most preordered game in the comparison. GameSpot notes this indicates an "enormous, unprecedented launch" is on the horizon.
While the exact figures were not disclosed, the comparison suggests consumer excitement for GTA 6 is already eclipsing the hype seen for other blockbuster franchises in recent years. The report underscores the towering expectations for the game's performance when it arrives this fall.
