Verified Best Buy Emails Signal GTA 6 Pre-Order Push May 18–21

The timing lines up with Take-Two’s May 21 earnings call.

Overview

  • Best Buy affiliate emails titled “GTA 6 Pre Order (Physical Game)” describe a May 18–21 commission window, which multiple affiliates shared and Insider Gaming confirmed as authentic.
  • The messages came through Impact, a major affiliate platform, and indicate a marketing commission period rather than the end of sales, with outlets reading May 18 as the likely public pre-order start.
  • Reporters note the dates match Take-Two’s May 21 earnings call, which is why many expect Rockstar to pair pre-order timing with Trailer 3 in that same window, though neither has been announced.
  • An insider known as DetectiveSeeds claims six pre-order options, including PS5 console bundles and possible early access, but fans question early access claims and Rockstar has not confirmed any editions.
  • Pricing remains unofficial, with reporting pointing to about $69.99 for the base game and a $60–$80 range by edition, and Take-Two’s shares jumped roughly 5% after the emails circulated.
