GTA 6 Sets a Microsoft Store Pre-Order Record as Xbox CEO Asha Sharma Highlights 10-Year Take-Two Partnership
Today’s Statement: GTA 6 Details and Pre-Orders Lead the Conversation
Today brings new GTA 6 information. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma posted about GTA 6 pre-orders and a new 10-year partnership with Take-Two, the publisher. It links the record to the deal but omits exact terms.
Early October: The Take-Two Deal Was Covered Before Today’s Post
The deal was covered in early October. It lets Take-Two develop and sell Xbox-compatible products across all Xbox devices. No financial terms, release plans, exclusivity, or operating details were given.
The Record: A Microsoft Store and Xbox Store Milestone
The concrete fact: GTA 6 is the most pre-ordered Microsoft Store title ever and the most pre-ordered Microsoft Store / Xbox Store game in history. No pre-order number, sales total, or other category is given.
What the Post Clarifies, and What It Does Not
Sharma confirms Take-Two as publisher, the 10-year partnership, and the record. She gives no partnership specifics. The post also omits release date, developer name beyond publisher, sales target, and pre-order total.
Why This Matters for Xbox and Take-Two
For Xbox, the story pairs a store record with a long-term business statement. For Take-Two, the deal covers device breadth and product compatibility, not only GTA 6. It does not say whether GTA 6 triggered the partnership or whether they were planned together, but the statement connects them.
Closing Timeline: A Ten-Year Partnership and a Pre-Order Record
Early October: the deal was reported for Xbox-compatible products across all Xbox devices. Today: GTA 6 details emerge; Sharma posts about pre-orders and the 10-year Take-Two partnership; GTA 6 is the top Microsoft Store / Xbox Store pre-order ever.
