Best Buy leak points to GTA 6 pre-orders May 18-21

An accidentally sent Best Buy affiliate email suggests physical GTA 6 pre-orders could open May 18-21 and fans expect a new trailer may drop during that window.

A Best Buy affiliate email sent through the Impact affiliate platform was accidentally distributed to a group of creators and lists a campaign window of May 18-21 for the physical edition of Grand Theft Auto VI. The message appeared before any confirmation from Rockstar Games or publisher Take-Two Interactive.

The email identifies May 18-21 as the period retailers should be prepared to accept physical pre-orders. It does not include pricing, platform or other commercial details.

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has reiterated a Nov. 19, 2026 release date for GTA 6 and indicated marketing will increase in the months before launch. Six months before a planned release is a common time for publishers to open formal pre-orders.

Some creators and fans expect a new trailer to arrive with a pre-order announcement. The game’s second trailer, released more than a year ago, has recorded over 160 million views.

Industry estimates place a likely base retail price for a next-generation boxed copy in the $70–$80 range, but the leaked email contains no pricing. Retailers and the publisher have not validated the affiliate message; no official pre-order date or trailer drop has been confirmed.
