'GTA 6' pre-order listings reportedly leaked online ahead of November 2026 launch

Several online creators and fans claim they received promotional emails linked to retailer pre-orders

Grand Theft Auto VI pre-order listings have reportedly appeared online ahead of the game’s scheduled release in November, increasing speculation that official pre-orders could begin in the coming days.

According to circulating reports, several online creators and fans claimed they received promotional emails linked to retailer pre-orders for the upcoming title.

The reports state that content creators, including Frogboyx1Gaming, received messages from Best Buy on May 13 suggesting physical editions of the game could become available for pre-order between May 18 and 21.

The reported emails also mentioned a 5% affiliate commission for creators who share pre-order links with customers.

Several fans later claimed similar messages had appeared in their inboxes, although the information has not been officially confirmed by Rockstar Games.

The reported listings emerged shortly after online speculation surrounding a possible “Trailer 3” announcement failed to materialise on May 12. Instead of sharing new GTA 6 information, Rockstar focused its latest updates on Red Dead Online.

Following the leak claims, several digital storefronts and regional retailers reportedly updated landing pages connected to GTA 6. However, the pages currently appear to function only as placeholders without active purchase options.

Additional reports from alleged UK retail employees suggested promotional materials for the game had already been distributed internally. According to the claims, a standard edition of GTA 6 could be priced at £69.99 in the United Kingdom, although Rockstar has not confirmed pricing details.

Last month, Rockstar officially announced that GTA 6 would launch for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on November 19, 2026. The company has not yet confirmed a PC release date.

Meanwhile, Strauss Zelnick, chief executive of Take-Two Interactive, recently suggested during the iicon conference that the game may avoid “super-premium” pricing and cost “way way way less”.

Interest in GTA 6 continues to grow as fans await further announcements from Rockstar regarding gameplay, editions and official pre-order details.
