GTA 6 pre-orders beat expectations on PS5, Take-Two says
Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders are running well above expectations ahead of its November 19, 2026 release on PS5.
Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick said during the company's Q2 2027 earnings call that pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI are tracking far above the company's expectations. According to comments reported by Eurogamer, Zelnick expressed confidence that the numbers will soon speak for themselves, and he believes the game will set a new baseline for the publisher.
What the announcement means
The headline takeaway is that demand for the next Grand Theft Auto is outpacing what even the publisher anticipated. Zelnick's remark about setting a new baseline suggests Take-Two sees GTA 6 not just as another big release but as a title that could redefine the company's commercial performance going forward. No specific sales figures or pre-order numbers were shared as part of the call.
