Rockstar Games ' Grand Theft Auto VI is again sweeping headlines, this time by trending as the #1 most talked-about title on the PlayStation Store , despite the fact that pre-orders for the game have yet to go live. The burst of interest comes in the wake of Trailer 2 , which has reawakened global interest in the highly anticipated sequel.
GTA 6 trends at the top without pre-orders
GTA 6 sits atop the PlayStation Store's trending list this week, an astonishing achievement considering fans can't yet pre-order the game. Rockstar introduced the official GTA 6 page on the PlayStation Store last week, enabling customers to wishlist the title. This new feature keeps users informed on all upcoming news, including pre-orders, edition reveals, and promotion drops.
The trend comes in the wake of the release of the second trailer, which featured more of the game's Vice City environment, protagonists, and visual enhancements. While the trailer was a combination of cutscenes and gameplay, it did enough to spark social media interest and propel GTA 6 back into the top of gaming discourse.
In spite of the absence of active sales or pre-orders, its wishlist traffic and fan excitement have been high enough to put it above even currently released blockbusters on the PlayStation Store.
Rockstar's cultural pull and marketing clout
Rockstar Games has always been popular in the gaming community, and GTA 6 is showing no exception. The game being available on the PlayStation Store is an indication that the marketing build-up is underway, even if the release remains well over a year away, at the moment planned for 2026. Rockstar's choice to make the game wish-listable at this point is one of strategy, maintaining momentum while giving anxious fans a little bit of a connection with the game.
This is not the first instance where GTA fever generated platform activity. GTA 6's first trailer shattered YouTube records in 24 hours, and every new update keeps the public engaged on a worldwide scale.
With GTA 6 already trending on the PlayStation Store before pre-orders have even begun, Rockstar has once again proven its unparalleled capacity to create mass hype. It's a sure indication that excitement for the next game is not only high, it's record-breaking.
