What happened
GamesRadar+ and TechRadar relayed Strauss Zelnick's CNBC comments that GTA 6 preorders were leaning toward the premium edition. He suggested that particularly enthusiastic customers may be overrepresented among early buyers. The reports discuss the Standard and Ultimate editions, rather than a separate game or a promise that premium buyers can start earlier.
What remains unclear
Neither report supplies the underlying unit totals or a percentage breakdown. Early preorder preferences are not necessarily representative of launch sales, and orders may be cancelled. The two outlets also describe bonus content differently, so this article does not use them as a definitive edition checklist. Check the current official listing for the specific extras before choosing; a premium-sales trend is not a recommendation to pay more.
