“Journalist Jason Schreier said that Grand Theft Auto VI is about 90% likely to release on November 19, 2026 with no further delays, after Rockstar Games opened pre-orders for the game.”

The official release target and pre-order opening are real, but the attributed Schreier quote is not supported. Credible reports say he treated the November 19, 2026 date as more solid than earlier plans while explicitly avoiding certainty and noting the game was still not fully content-complete. No reliable source shows him saying “about 90% likely” or promising there would be no further delays.

“Grand Theft Auto VI generated about $3 billion in revenue from pre-orders within the first 24 hours after pre-orders opened.”

The evidence does not support the claim that GTA VI made about $3 billion from pre-orders in its first 24 hours. Credible coverage treats that number as an unverified viral rumor, while better-sourced reporting points to analyst estimates closer to $1 billion or discusses roughly $3.2 billion as projected first-year revenue, not first-day pre-orders. No official Take-Two or Rockstar disclosure confirms the $3 billion figure.
