Overview
- Best Buy affiliate emails indicated that GTA 6 preorders begin Monday, May 18, within a May 18–21 promotional window for partners.
- Insider Gaming verified the emails with multiple recipients, yet Rockstar Games and Take-Two have not announced preorder timing, prices, or editions.
- Analysts read May 21 as the end of a 5% affiliate commission offer rather than the end of preorders, which are expected to continue through launch and align with Take-Two’s May 21 earnings call.
- Separate social leaks claim six editions, price tiers around $60–$80, and possible early access, but those details remain unconfirmed.
- Investor interest jumped after the leak, with Take-Two shares up about 5%, as the company targets a November 19, 2026 launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
