Xbox Announced that it Broke Records in GTA 6 Pre-Orders
The GTA 6 pre-order process has already generated significant activity in the gaming world. Recently, claims emerged that PlayStation 5 pre-orders had surpassed Xbox pre-orders by a large margin. While these claims spread rapidly on social media, a statement from Xbox changed the course of the discussion. The company stated that the shared ratios did not represent actual pre-order data.
Xbox Denies Claims Regarding GTA 6 Pre-Order Data
According to the claims, PlayStation 5 had achieved a significant 8-to-1 lead over Xbox in GTA 6 pre-orders. However, it was understood that these ratios came from link clicks and affiliate systems, not actual sales or pre-order data. An Xbox spokesperson explicitly stated that the numbers in question were not pre-order data.
Xbox announced that GTA 6 has received “record pre-orders.” The exact criteria used to define this record weren’t specified. This could refer to the number of pre-orders received within a specific period or another platform-specific threshold. Since no concrete data was released, all we know is that the company used this strong statement.
Expectations for GTA 6 are so high that it’s already considered likely to break sales records on release day. Many even believe the game could recoup its development costs solely through pre-orders. It wouldn’t be surprising if PlayStation achieved even higher sales, as Sony is strongly marketing the game on its own console.
However, the Xbox statement suggests caution regarding one-sided claims. Which platform has the lead in the GTA 6 pre-order race will only become clearer when official sales data is released. For now, the picture suggests the game is poised for a massive launch on both consoles.
