Xbox doesn’t even need GTA 6 for November — it has something even better
Xbox leadership has pushed back against reports suggesting concern about Grand Theft Auto 6’s viability on Xbox Series X|S. Following claims from Windows Central’s Tom Warren that Xbox HQ harbored sales concerns about the title, Xbox Chief Strategy Officer Matthew Ball issued a statement denying the characterization, saying GTA 6 is “creating records” for Xbox pre-orders. Ball indicated the platform expects these record-breaking numbers to continue throughout the fall season.
The response underscores the significance of GTA 6 as a major multiplatform release, with pre-order performance becoming a closely watched metric ahead of the game’s launch. While the exact scale of Xbox’s pre-order figures remains undisclosed, the platform’s focus on the title’s commercial performance suggests confidence in its appeal to the Series X|S user base, despite the broader hype surrounding the franchise’s next installment.
