An allegedly leaked Best Buy affiliate email suggests that pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on May 18, 2026. This date is five months prior to the game's scheduled November 19, 2026 release date. The report comes from Insider Gaming, which is currently working on verifying the authenticity of the email.

Alleged leak suggests pre-orders begin five months before release

The leak has fueled speculation that Rockstar Games may release a third trailer for the title soon. The company previously released a second trailer that surpassed 160 million views on YouTube. Social media accounts dedicated to tracking updates, such as GTA6Alerts, have shared the alleged pre-order confirmation.

The information remains unconfirmed and is classified as a rumor. The source explicitly describes the data as allegedly leaked and supposedly set to go live. Verification of the leak is ongoing, and no official announcement from Rockstar Games or Best Buy has been made to validate the date.

Rockstar Games has not confirmed the pre-order window or the associated marketing events. The company has not released any further details regarding the launch strategy for the highly anticipated open-world game. Players should wait for official confirmation before making any purchasing decisions.
