New Delhi, Nov. 12 -- Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) has reportedly crossed $1 billion in pre-order revenue ahead of its 19 November launch, setting new records on the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store. The Rockstar Games action-adventure game is set to become one of the biggest entertainment launches in history, with over 10 million pre-orders, according to estimates from market intelligence firm Sensor Tower.

Rockstar has announced that digital users can preload the game, and Microsoft has confirmed it will be available on older Xbox One consoles on launch day via Xbox Cloud Gaming. The game's growing popularity is drawing comparisons with major Hollywood releases, such as Avengers: Doomsday, scheduled to release in December.
