Confirmed Facts
Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to release on November 19, 2026.
The game has garnered significant attention, with a history of successful titles from Rockstar Games.
Community Reports
According to reports from ScreenRant, the Ultimate Edition of GTA 6 is selling extremely well, surpassing expectations and even outpacing the standard edition.
Karl Kontus, a senior vice president at Sensor Tower, noted that 89% of all GTA 6 sales have been for the Ultimate Edition, with 90% of Xbox buyers and 88.5% of PlayStation buyers opting for this version.
This trend is unexpected, as typical premium edition sales usually account for around 10-20% of total sales.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick confirmed that preorders are skewing towards the premium edition, further supporting these claims.
Community discussions on Reddit reflect mixed feelings about the pricing strategy, with some users speculating that Rockstar intended for the Ultimate Edition to be priced at $100, while others argue that the price is justified given Rockstar's reputation.
What This Means
The strong sales of the Ultimate Edition suggest a high level of enthusiasm among fans, despite the lack of gameplay reveals prior to launch.
As the gameplay reveal approaches, it is possible that the sales dynamics could shift, with the standard edition potentially gaining traction.
