Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) preorders are expected to go live next week, according to a leaked email. The message, reportedly sent by Best Buy to affiliates, suggests players could begin reserving the game starting May 18. Insider Gaming reported the leak, noting that screenshots and videos of the email have been widely shared online, though the publication is still verifying its authenticity.
Preorder Rumors Fuel Speculation for Third Trailer
The reported May 18 preorder date has sparked speculation that Rockstar Games may release a third GTA 6 trailer soon. Many fans online believe a new trailer could end with an official preorder announcement, especially since Rockstar has not released substantial new gameplay footage in over a year. Anticipation for GTA 6 has been building since the release of Trailer 2, which has already crossed 160 million views on YouTube. With limited official updates in recent months, fans are closely watching for signs of new marketing activity.
Official Confirmation Still Pending
Neither Rockstar Games nor publisher Take-Two Interactive has officially confirmed the preorder date. However, the timing aligns with the game's current November 19 launch window, placing preorders roughly five months ahead of release. GTA 6 is expected to launch on current-generation consoles first, set in a modern version of Vice City and featuring dual protagonists. The title remains one of the most anticipated upcoming releases in the gaming industry.
Until Rockstar officially confirms the details, the May 18 preorder information should be treated as unverified. Still, the leak has renewed speculation that new GTA 6 announcements could arrive in the coming days.
