Grand Theft Auto 6 breaks PlayStation Store pre-order record
Grand Theft Auto 6 has officially become the most pre-ordered game in the history of the PlayStation Store. Sony confirmed the milestone in a recent PlayStation Blog post, noting that the unprecedented demand for the upcoming Rockstar Games title has led to a special arrangement for players.
To accommodate this massive interest, Sony and Rockstar Games have enabled pre-loading for GTA 6 nine days ahead of its scheduled release. This move is intended to ensure that players are ready to jump into the game as soon as it launches. Sony has strongly advised anyone planning to play on day one to start the pre-load process as soon as possible to avoid any potential delays.
The game is set to become available in various regions as they transition past midnight into November 19. While players in regions like New Zealand will get access first due to time zone differences, the core launch window remains centered around that date. It is important to note that this record refers specifically to digital pre-orders within the PlayStation Store, rather than total physical sales across the entire PlayStation ecosystem.
Platform-specific features and Take-Two outlook
The PlayStation Blog also highlighted specific features coming to GTA 6 on PS5 and PS5 Pro. On the Xbox side, cloud streaming support has been confirmed, though notably, there is no mention of cloud support for PC at this stage. This announcement follows recent comments from Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick during a financial earnings call, where he stated that pre-orders for GTA 6 are tracking "far above expectations."
Zelnick suggested that the upcoming title is expected to set a new baseline for Take-Two's success, potentially becoming the best-selling installment in the franchise. As the release date approaches, the industry is watching closely to see if the actual sales figures will match the massive pre-order momentum currently being reported.
