GTA 6 Is PlayStation's Most Preordered Game Ever — Before Launch

Rockstar hasn't sold a single copy of GTA 6 yet — technically. PlayStation just confirmed it's already the most preordered game in PlayStation Store history, and over on Xbox it's the same story in the Microsoft Store. No launch. No release day. Record: already gone.

Sony made it official this week and, true to form, shared exactly zero numbers. Take-Two's CEO at least gave us something — presales are running "far in excess" of expectations. Comforting.

Vice City's newest resident. Preload went live this week — those download servers are presumably saying their goodbyes.

Jason and Lucia, mid-heist. Presales, meanwhile, are the smoothest job anyone's pulled this year.

November 19. One week out, and the storefront records are already falling.

Rockstar's official advice is to preload the game before Thursday, November 19 — smart, because a launch-day stampede across two storefronts is how servers end up on life support. The one cold shower in all this: 30 FPS on every console. Half a billion dollars of hype, and the frame rate still plays it safe.

The full breakdown is in today's video above — records, preload warning, and why your SSD should be nervous.
