GTA 6 hype has it dwarfing all other games’ preorder numbers this decade
Grand Theft Auto 6 is now less than a month away, and the hype levels are paying dividends before it’s even remotely playable. Alongside a massive wave of advertising that’s taken over Miami, Florida, preorder estimates paint a shocking picture of just how excited players are for the long-anticipated sequel, thanks to Sensor Tower. Image via Sensor Tower https://embeds.beehiiv.com/a8d62108-86ed-4039-bf49-44877ba62c15 Over the past six years, a handful of games have had a lot of hype behind them, namely Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II back in 2022. GTA 6 has since utterly dwarfed those preorder numbers, as shown in the graph above: it’s gotten 148 percent more than the CoD game, and is on pace to be far and away the most preordered game since 2020. This is all to say that, yeah, the hype is real for GTA 6. These are estimates and only include PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, though, so official numbers will likely get even wilder at launch and beyond, and especially when the inevitable PC version releases. One way the data may be skewed, however, is that Sensor Tower only includes digital preorders, meaning the other games on the list likely had bigger numbers thanks to physical games, whereas GTA 6 does not have that as an option (other than a code in a box), and the charts don’t track it either way. Still, it’s interesting to see the massive gap in these estimations, with some other hugely popular titles on there, including Diablo 4, Spider-Man 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy, God of War Ragnarok, The Last of Us Part II, and more. It puts some intense perspective into just how big GTA 6 could be when the sales numbers begin flying in after launch on Nov. 19, which is really just the beginning of the game’s life cycle, as it will evolve over time with eventual online components and more.
