Overview
- Multiple creators and outlets said Thursday they received a Best Buy affiliate email about a “GTA 6 Pre-Order (Physical Game)” promo running May 18–21 with a 5% commission for partners.
- Neither Best Buy nor Rockstar has verified the message, and pre-orders were still not live by mid-May.
- Take-Two’s earnings call on Thursday, May 21 is viewed as the earliest likely venue for official details on pre-orders, pricing, or a third trailer.
- Rockstar’s confirmed facts remain unchanged: Grand Theft Auto 6 launches November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and a PC release has not been announced.
- Retail affiliate emails can expose internal campaign dates before public announcements, but they can also be placeholders or errors, which is why outlets are urging caution about the leak.
