Rumor: GTA 6 Hits $3 Billion and 39 Million Pre-Orders in One Day
⚠️ Unverified rumor. These figures come from social-media posts and news aggregators — not an official Rockstar or Take-Two announcement. See Everything We Know for confirmed facts.
Multiple outlets are reporting that GTA 6 has already generated around $3 billion in revenue from roughly 39 million pre-orders — supposedly within the first 24 hours after pre-orders opened on June 25, 2026.
If accurate, that would make it the fastest $3 billion ever earned by any entertainment product — game, film, TV, or music. For context, GTA 5 famously crossed $1 billion in three days back in 2013.
Where the number comes from
- The figure spread through social-media accounts such as Valuetainment and GTA-focused trackers, then got picked up by aggregator sites.
- It lines up with the very real, confirmed story that physical pre-orders sold out on Amazon within hours of going live.
Why stay skeptical
- Neither Rockstar nor Take-Two has confirmed any pre-order or revenue figure.
- The “39 million” and “$3 billion” numbers are estimates, not audited sales.
- Big round numbers tend to travel fast on social media before anyone verifies them.
Credibility: Medium. Pre-order demand is clearly enormous (the Amazon sellouts are confirmed), but the specific $3B / 39M figures are unverified estimates. We’ll update this if Take-Two reports official numbers.
