GTA 6 smashes $1bn pre-orders a week early

Autoblog reckons GTA 6 has already banked over $1bn in pre-orders—a full week before launch. The article dropped on 13 November 2026, but don’t take it as gospel: Rockstar and Take-Two haven’t confirmed a thing. It’s just the press talking, not an official statement.

Meanwhile, Eurogamer’s got another leak on its hands. A snapshot of the game’s Leonida state map has popped up online, snapped right in the middle of the £350 collector’s edition reveal at Selfridges UK. The source? Insider Videotech claims it came from an employee.

#A stylised poster, not the full map

The leak shows a double-sided poster tucked inside the collector’s box. The art style splits the difference between a mid-century tourist brochure and an adult cartoon. The tagline? “The Goodtime State”—a cheeky nod to Florida’s “Sunshine State”. The map’s dotted with cartoon icons: a smoking turtle, a golfer in chaps, and an UFO. Eurogamer’s quick to point out this isn’t the in-game map—just an artistic tease showing Leonida’s rough shape. Some players are still hunting for Key West, but the photo’s cropped tight enough to keep the mystery alive.

And heads-up: that £350 collector’s edition doesn’t include the game itself. You’re paying for the swag and the poster, not a copy of GTA 6.

#More leaks, more legal mess

This isn’t the first time Leonida’s map has leaked. Back in early 2026, the CyberLeek group dropped unofficial gameplay and map details under the banner of “player rights”. By August, they’d banked nearly £200k through a crypto scheme—just days before Netflix’s big announcement.

Rockstar’s also got bigger fish to fry. The studio’s facing a wrongful-dismissal lawsuit after sacking over 30 employees for union activity. The verdict’s due next week—right as GTA 6 drops.

So what’s it mean for you? If you’re after the collector’s edition, double-check the fine print: no game included at £350. And that billion-dollar pre-order figure? Take it with a pinch of salt—it’s just Autoblog’s take, not an official Rockstar stat. Next week’s shaping up to be a wild ride between the courtroom and the launch day.
