- The duration of the campaign is set between May 18 and 21

Rockstar Games’ scheduled November 19, 2026 release date for the long-awaited grand theft car 6 remains in doubt after multiple delays. However, a new leak suggests that the release date may be set.
Best Buy has reportedly leaked the pre-order date for GTA 6 via an affiliate email, first reported by content creator Frogboyx1Gaming. The email shows an affiliate campaign called ‘GTA 6 Pre-Order (Physical Game)’ that will run from May 18 to May 21, strongly implying that pre-orders will open on May 18.
The email has since been corroborated by leaker Tom Henderson and several users online and on Reddit, and with Take-Two Interactive’s earnings call scheduled for May 21, the timing coincides.

However, Rockstar has been quite unpredictable in marketing its games, particularly amid all the theories about when the next trailer will arrive.
Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick previously stated that marketing for the game would begin in summer 2026, and it’s not summer yet. There’s a good chance that marketing will begin much sooner (i.e. starting May 18), but history tells us that the proceedings may not be exactly as fans predict.
One thing is almost certain: an update on GTA 6 That’s likely imminent as the earnings call approaches, particularly May 21, when Best Buy’s rumored affiliate campaign ends.
I’d love to eat my words if a third trailer comes out and the doors open for pre-orders, but maybe it’s best to be cautious with the excitement levels for now.
