Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick says GTA VI presales are "running far in excess of our expectations." PlayStation says it is the most pre-ordered game in PlayStation Store history. No official numbers yet.

Zelnick made the comment to Variety ahead of Take-Two's earnings, adding: "That said, we never claim success before it occurs." Neither Rockstar nor Take-Two has shared a pre-order number.

According to Game Developer, PlayStation confirmed GTA VI is the most pre-ordered game in PlayStation Store history, and Xbox made a similar claim about its store. Neither shared figures. Analyst estimates of the total vary widely, so treat any single number with caution.
