That figure converts to roughly 118.76 billion yen, and Sensor Tower puts cumulative pre-order units at 7.71 million. The PlayStation 5 version accounts for 5.74 million of those units, or 74 percent, with the Xbox version at 1.97 million, or 26 percent. The game ships for PlayStation 5 (including Pro) and Xbox Series X|S, with no PC version announced. In Japan the Standard Edition is priced at 9,800 yen and the Ultimate Edition at 12,280 yen, and an upgrade from Standard to Ultimate is set at 2,480 yen. Preloading begins November 10, and the package version, which contains a download code rather than a disc, goes on sale November 12.","whyItMatters":"Sensor Tower's tracker puts the pre-order haul at $751 million before a single copy is sold at retail, and Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick told IGN the standard edition's price is a bargain relative to the experience, a framing that will be tested once the game is in players' hands.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe Sensor Tower tracker breaks the pre-order total down by platform, and the split favors Sony: 5.74 million units on PlayStation 5 against 1.97 million on Xbox. The tracker\u0026#39;s figures are estimates, not figures released by Rockstar or Take-Two. For comparison, IGN notes that Grand Theft Auto V earned $800 million in its first 24 hours and reached $1 billion in sales three days after release.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuyers in Japan face a few practical details before launch. The domestic package version is PS5 Standard Edition only and holds a download code instead of a disc, with that code expiring 170 days after the November 19 release date. Preloading requires up to 212GB of free space, and the Japanese localization offers Japanese subtitles with English audio. The Microsoft Store lists the Japanese Xbox Series X|S version at 208.74GB, about 1GB smaller than the 209.86GB global version, a gap that Japanese users have discussed on X without an official explanation. GTA Online service is planned to continue after the new game\u0026#39;s release.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Rockstar Games ships Grand Theft Auto VI on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S with no PC version announced, so that $751 million in pre-orders is locked to consoles before a single PC buyer is counted.","twitterPost":"Grand Theft Auto VI has no PC version announced, so Rockstar Games' $751 million in pre-orders comes from PlayStation 5 and Xbox buyers alone.","threadsPost":"Grand Theft Auto VI ships for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S with no PC version announced. The $751 million in pre-orders from Sensor Tower therefore excludes PC entirely, which leaves Rockstar Games a second platform launch still unclaimed.","newsletterBlurb":"Sensor Tower estimates Grand Theft Auto VI has pulled in $751 million in pre-orders two weeks before its November 19 release.
