“Grand Theft Auto 6” is confirmed to be coming on Nov. 19 on select platforms, but fans are already thinking about what the early preorder figures mean for the upcoming installment.

Reported sales data from Sensor Tower shows a significant difference between PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S preorders. According to the figures, PS5 accounts for 77% of reported “GTA 6” preorders. Xbox makes up the remaining 23%.
