GTA 6 has generated an estimated US$630 million through advance purchases across PS5 and Xbox Series consoles, according to Sensor Tower figures reported by Notebookcheck. The analytics put the number of pre-orders at 6.45 million ahead of the game's November 19 launch.

PS5 purchases contributed US$468 million, representing 74% of pre-orders. Xbox Series consoles accounted for 26% and US$162 million, Sensor Tower's figures showed.
