Report: GTA 6 Pre-Orders Reportedly Top 39 Million, $3 Billion in Revenue

June 29, 2026

According to online reports circulating since pre-orders opened on June 25, 2026, Grand Theft Auto VI has already racked up roughly 39 million pre-orders and generated more than $3 billion in revenue — reportedly within the first 24 hours.

Neither Rockstar Games nor Take-Two has confirmed these numbers. The figures originated from social-media accounts and aggregator sites, not an official press release or earnings statement.

What’s being claimed

• ~39 million pre-orders worldwide, according to the reports.
• $3 billion+ in revenue generated, according to the same reports.
• A newer estimate claims GTA 6 made roughly $1 billion in pre-order revenue in the first hour alone, per analyst figures cited by outlets like GameRant and Tech4Gamers — again, an estimate, not a Take-Two number.
• If accurate, that would make it the fastest $3 billion ever earned by any entertainment product — game, film, TV, or music. For comparison, GTA 5 hit $1 billion in its first three days back in 2013.

Why this is still “according to,” not confirmed

• Rockstar and Take-Two have released no official pre-order or revenue figures.
• The numbers trace back to social posts (including accounts like Valuetainment) and analyst estimates that were then picked up and repeated by aggregator sites.
• What is independently confirmed: physical pre-orders sold out on Amazon US within hours of going live — real, but a much smaller signal than “39 million units.”

We’ll update this post if Take-Two or Rockstar ever confirm an official number.
