Early Player Ratings Reported
Early player ratings for Grand Theft Auto VI have reportedly surfaced via the PlayStation Store, as noted by GAMINGbible. A Twitter user, ps_store_db, claims to have spotted a total of 11 ratings, all marking the game as five out of five stars. However, these ratings are not publicly visible and were sourced from the PlayStation Network backend, leading to speculation about their authenticity.
It is important to approach these ratings with caution, as they could be from media or creators who have received early access to the game. Alternatively, they might originate from Rockstar Games developers. The true consensus on GTA VI will only be known once an embargo lifts or on launch day when players begin sharing their reviews.
Game Pre-Orders Exceed Expectations
GTA VI has set a record as the most pre-ordered game in the history of both PlayStation and Microsoft’s online stores. Tracking bot Sensor Tower estimates that pre-orders have surpassed 9.6 million, with over a week remaining until the game's release on November 19, 2026.
Take-Two's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, stated that pre-orders are 'running far in excess of our expectations,' although he did not disclose specific figures. This follows the previous record held by Cyberpunk 2077, which had over 8 million pre-orders.
Comparing Sales Records
GTA V currently holds the record for the most launch day sales, having sold 11.21 million copies within the first 24 hours. While GTA VI is on track to break several records, it still has a long way to go to dethrone Tetris, the best-selling game of all time, which has sold 520 million units.
Minecraft follows closely with 425 million sales, while GTA V has reached 235 million. As anticipation builds for GTA VI, it remains to be seen how it will perform in comparison to these titles.
