GTA 6 (Grand Theft Auto VI) Pre-Orders Next Week – Best Buy Leak

Yes, a Best Buy affiliate email has leaked details suggesting GTA 6 (Grand Theft Auto VI) pre-orders for the physical edition could start as early as May 18, 2026.⁠

What the Leak Shows

• Best Buy sent an email to affiliates (content creators/promoters in their program) promoting a “GTA 6 Pre Order (Physical Game)” campaign.⁠
• The campaign runs May 18–21, 2026, with affiliates earning 5% commission on sales during that window.⁠
• Multiple people (including streamer Frogboyx1Gaming, who showed it live on stream with inbox refreshes and email proofs) have shared screenshots and verifications. It comes from a legitimate Best Buy affiliate sender (app.impact.com).⁠

This is widely seen as credible because it’s an internal retailer promo, not a random rumor—though it could be a scheduling error or placeholder.⁠

Context and Expectations

• GTA 6 is officially set for release on November 19, 2026 (PS5 and Xbox Series X/S).⁠
• Pre-orders haven’t officially launched yet anywhere. This leak aligns with Take-Two Interactive’s earnings call on May 21 (end of the campaign window), where they might share updates.⁠
• Many expect Trailer 3 to drop around the same time (possibly before or with pre-order launch), as marketing ramps up ~6 months before release.⁠

Rockstar and Best Buy haven’t officially commented yet. Keep an eye on Rockstar’s site, major retailers (Best Buy, PlayStation Store, Xbox, Amazon, GameStop), and official channels for confirmation.
