In its quarterly earnings report, Take-Two confirmed that pre-order trends for GTA 6 far exceeded the company's initial expectations, though it did not disclose specific figures. Early reports indicate that the $100 Digital Deluxe Edition is currently outselling the $80 Standard Edition.
Digital pre-loading for the game will soon be available, with various platforms offering different pre-order bonuses and free additional content. Physical pre-orders come with an in-box redemption code, which players can only redeem on the release date, as no physical discs will be provided during the launch phase.
For reference, Grand Theft Auto V continues to sell approximately 5 million copies per quarter in recent periods, bringing its cumulative sales close to 235 million. The GTA series as a whole has reached nearly 480 million copies sold.
Take-Two's net bookings for the quarter fell 18% year-over-year, and net revenue also declined, but the company maintained its full-year net bookings guidance of $8 billion to $8.2 billion. Its net bookings for the previous fiscal year were $6.72 billion, and $5.56 billion for the year before that.
Currently, GTA 6 remains the only title in Take-Two's upcoming lineup with a confirmed release date, making the company's commercial performance for this fiscal year heavily dependent on the game's post-launch results.
