Amid growing fan theories about a third trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6, multiple individuals have reported receiving emails from Best Buy advertising upcoming pre-orders for the highly anticipated game. Despite Rockstar Games maintaining silence, speculation about a new trailer has been rampant, with many expecting a reveal this week—though those predictions have proven inaccurate.
Best Buy Email Leak
The emails, sent to members of Best Buy's affiliate program, mention a GTA 6 pre-order campaign scheduled from Monday, May 18, to Thursday, May 21. This four-day window is likely for affiliates, not the general public, as pre-orders would not be limited to such a short period. Multiple recipients have shared photo and video evidence online, confirming the details are consistent across all messages.
The emails specify that the pre-orders are for a 'physical game,' aligning with Take-Two Interactive's previous assurance that GTA 6 would have a physical release, countering rumors of a digital-only launch.
Implications for Trailer 3
The leak suggests Best Buy may have jumped the gun, and a formal announcement from Rockstar could be imminent. If pre-orders indeed go live next week, a new trailer might accompany the news. Fans have long speculated that May would bring both a trailer and pre-order details, especially given Take-Two's upcoming earnings call on May 21. However, past correlations between earnings calls and GTA 6 updates have been weak, so any new information would likely be coincidental.
GTA 6 Release Date
After several delays, GTA 6 is currently scheduled for launch on November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. No versions for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or PC have been announced, though a PC port is expected in early 2027, following the pattern of previous Rockstar titles. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has expressed confidence in the current release date, but further delays remain possible.
As the gaming community awaits official word, the Best Buy leak has intensified anticipation for what could be a major week for GTA 6 news.
