Leaked internal emails suggest that pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto 6 will not begin on May 18 at Best Buy. Earlier reports indicated that the retailer planned to open pre-orders on that date. Newer communications from within the company indicate that the previous information was incorrect.
Internal communications contradict earlier affiliate marketing materials
A forum administrator verified the authenticity of these internal emails. The administrator confirmed that the sender used a valid company email address. The emails state that pre-orders are not expected to launch on the originally scheduled day. This contradicts earlier affiliate marketing materials that pointed to May 18.
Neither Rockstar Games nor Best Buy has issued an official statement regarding the current pre-order status. A forum user noted that the situation might change last minute. The user advised fans to keep their expectations low for now. The lack of official confirmation leaves the launch date uncertain.
The release date for Grand Theft Auto 6 remains set for November 19 according to Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick. The company has faced multiple delays and claims to be about 18 months behind its original timeline. Fans continue to wait for official updates on both the game's release and its pre-order availability.
