Grand Theft Auto VI Pre-orders Top 10 Million Units

Take-Two Interactive raised its annual revenue and profit forecasts for fiscal 2027 ahead of the November 19 launch of Grand Theft Auto VI. The company now expects total revenue between $7.98 billion and $8.18 billion and increased the lower end of its per-share profit outlook to 57 cents. This optimistic shift follows a second quarter where total bookings fell 18 percent to $1.60 billion, missing estimates due to weaker demand for NBA 2K27.

Data from analyst firm Sensor Tower indicates the game has already generated over $1 billion in revenue and sold 10.31 million units. The PlayStation 5 dominates these sales with 7.73 million units, while the Xbox Series X/S accounts for 2.58 million units. Both platforms identified the title as the most pre-ordered game in their respective storefronts. Digital pre-orders reached approximately 7.71 million worldwide as of November 3, with many customers choosing the $99.99 Ultimate Edition.

CEO Strauss Zelnick stated that pre-orders are running "far in excess" of company expectations, though the company maintained its annual bookings forecast of $8 billion to $8.20 billion. Meanwhile, Rockstar Games confirmed the title will run at 30 FPS across all platforms, with the PS5 Pro utilizing PSSR for enhanced image clarity and ray-traced shadows.
