Rockstar on GTA 6 Pre-orders

However, during Take-Two’s fiscal year 2027 first-quarter earnings call in August, CEO Strauss Zelnick described the game’s pre-order launch as “extraordinarily strong.” In a subsequent Q&A session with investors and analysts, the executive noted that the volume of GTA 6 pre-orders is unprecedented.
In an interview with CNBC following the earnings call, Zelnick stated that GTA 6 pre-orders have “far exceeded expectations.” He also confirmed that a significant number of customers are opting for the $100 “Ultimate Edition” of the game, which is available alongside a standard $80 version.
