GTA 6 tops $1 billion in preorders ahead of Nov. 19 release

Players can download GTA 6 ahead of launch, but that doesn't mean they can start playing. That distinction closes CBS Miami's brief report on an enormous preorder haul for Rockstar's return to Vice City.

The station reports that preorders have brought in more than $1 billion, with most purchases on PlayStation 5 and the remainder on Xbox. Its description calls the sales figures reported totals. The anchor says customers can preload the game onto their consoles, but official play begins November 19.

The bulletin drew about 32,000 views in its first twelve hours, already far beyond the station's usual first-day audience for Shorts. In the comments, viewers compare the reported haul with GTA V's launch, while one questions whether Rockstar or publisher Take-Two has confirmed the figures.

For a South Florida newsroom, this isn't quite a game set somewhere else: Vice City is Rockstar's fictional take on Miami. The report puts that familiar setting's next outing alongside the station's usual mix of local weather and community coverage.
