Take-Two: GTA 6 Pre-Orders at ‘Unprecedented Levels’ Ten Days Before Launch

In its last earnings report before launch, Take-Two says GTA 6 pre-orders are at unprecedented levels and keeps November 19 locked in. Here is what was said, and what was not.

In this article

GTA 6 pre-orders are “continuing to reach unprecedented levels,” Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick said on November 9, 2026, in the company’s last earnings report before Grand Theft Auto VI launches. “The launch of Grand Theft Auto VI is ten days away,” Zelnick said in the official earnings release.

That keeps the November 19 launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S firmly in place. Take-Two did not share an exact pre-order number.

Is GTA 6 still coming out on November 19?

Yes. Take-Two lists GTA 6 for November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and Zelnick’s “ten days away” lines up with that date.

The release does not mention a PC version. Check the exact unlock moment for your country on our GTA 6 unlock time page.

How many GTA 6 pre-orders are there?

Take-Two did not say. The only official words are “unprecedented levels.”

Market research firm Sensor Tower estimated about 7.71 million digital pre-orders worldwide as of November 3, worth more than $750 million, Reuters reported. That is an outside estimate, not a Take-Two figure.

What did Take-Two change in its forecast?

Take-Two raised its full-year revenue forecast to $7.98 to $8.18 billion, up from $7.90 to $8.10 billion, according to Reuters. It kept its net bookings outlook at $8.0 to $8.2 billion.

Zelnick said the company expects “to deliver an historic year.” Shares rose nearly 7% in extended trading, Reuters reported.

What this means for you

Nothing moves: GTA 6 still launches on November 19, and the preload opens on November 12. With demand this high, expect busy servers and slower downloads on launch night, so preload early and free up about 250 GB, as our GTA 6 file size guide explains.
