We might have been so near GTA 6!
To not rub it in, however in one other timeline, we’d have been just about one week away from having GTA 6 in our fingers. Bear in mind, the primary agency launch date for the sport was Tuesday, Might 26, 2026. Sadly, this date wasn’t to be and GTA 6 was delay additional to the present date of November 19, 2026 final winter. Perhaps Rockstar will reward our additional persistence with a brand new trailer (and pre-orders) in the present day!
TG readers are break up on GTA 6 pre-orders
Earlier in the present day, I polled the Tom’s Information readers to get a vibe-check on whether or not they imagine in the present day will certainly see GTA pre-orders go stay, and the outcomes are attention-grabbing.
After greater than 125 votes, 38% of individuals suppose we will not get GTA 6 pre-orders in the present day and the wait will proceed. On the opposite aspect, 36% of readers imagine the leaks and rumors and suppose we will get GTA 6 pre-orders in the present day. Lastly, 26% voted for “perhaps”. Maybe that is the most secure choice as a result of Rockstar could be very exhausting to foretell.
Whereas this ballot was only for enjoyable, it does present that the gaming neighborhood is fairly break up on the validity of the continued GTA 6 rumors. Let’s examine which aspect is true!
Walmart gives probably the most compelling proof since Greatest Purchase leak
To this point, other than the Greatest Purchase affiliate e-mail leak, not one of the on-line theories has actually satisfied me that GTA 6 pre-orders are literally occurring in the present day. I am nonetheless within the cautiously optimistic camp. However Walmart may need simply given us probably the most compelling motive but to start out huffing on pure hopium for the subsequent few hours.
It seems that the retailer’s Grand Theft Auto VI listing page is stay. It may be discovered each on Walmart.com and through Google search outcomes. Nevertheless, whenever you click on the hyperlink, you get a “This web page could not be discovered” display screen, nevertheless it’s a hopeful signal.
This might be the retailer getting its geese in a row for a later date, nevertheless it’s undoubtedly probably the most tangible proof now we have to this point that GTA 6 pre-orders might occur in the present day. I am holding a watchful eye on the web page and can replace if something adjustments.
Did I simply debunk the PlayStation Retailer idea?
To develop on my skepticism of the under PlayStation Retailer replace rumor, I’ve finished some sleuthing and might see the identical “free supply” Google search textual content when trying up each Management Resonant and Marvel’s Wolverine.
Like GTA 6, these 2026 releases aren’t presently out there to pre-order (although Wolverine has a confirmed June 16 pre-order date). With these video games additionally displaying the identical “free supply” tag as GTA 6, I believe we are able to think about this one an actual nothing burger. My analysis suggests it is simply normal tagging on the PlayStation Retailer and never a sign that GTA 6 pre-orders are about to go stay.
A small replace from PlayStation Retailer might trace at GTA 6 pre-orders
The PlayStation Retailer And PlayStation Web site Now Says “Free Supply” below the GTA6 Web page. IT’S HAPPENING GUYS!!! pic.twitter.com/x7Fzi35j7QMay 18, 2026
After noting the alleged Xbox Retailer replace earlier in the present day, the PlayStation Retailer and PlayStation Direct additionally seems to have been subtly up to date (per @GTASixInfo on X). The shop’s itemizing pages now reads “free supply” when seen through Google.
Could possibly be the most recent indication that gaming storefronts throughout the web are making ready for GTA 6 pre-orders to go stay later in the present day? Perhaps, although, I am removed from satisfied about this one. By looking for virtually any recreation on the PlayStation Retailer I see a “free supply” textual content. It looks as if it is simply a typical tag for PlayStation, slightly than some particular signal that GTA 6 pre-order are about to go stay.
Does Rockstar’s YouTube trace at GTA 6 Trailer 3 quickly?
I’ve simply noticed one other conspiracy fan idea through Reddit, this time it pertains to Rockstar Video games’ official YouTube channel. At current, the account has 416 watchable movies, however together with non-public/unlisted movies, the overall leaps to 446.
Why is that this vital? In response to the Reddit consumer in query, there have been 444 movies on the account on Friday. If correct, this could imply that Rockstar has uploaded two new movies to its YouTube account, however hasn’t made them public.
Might these maybe be GTA 6 Trailer 3 and a pre-order affirmation trailer? It is definitely doable. However as I maintain saying, take all these rumors with a grain of salt.
Will GTA 6 get a swanky particular version?
One facet to think about is that when GTA 6 pre-orders go stay that would additionally imply the announcement of a Collector’s Version. Again in 2013, there have been three editions of GTA 5: normal, particular and collectors. And I will not be stunned if GTA 6 is similar.
13 years later, bodily editions aren’t as well-liked as they had been within the 2010s due to the rise of digital purchases. Nevertheless, Collector’s Editions are nonetheless launched for the most important AAA tentpole titles, and GTA 6 most definitely qualifies as a type of.
The GTA 5 Collector’s Version included gadgets like a snapback cap, a safety deposit bag, a blueprint map and a steelbook, so I’m wondering what goodies a GTA 6 Collector’s Version might provide. On the very least, a map and steelbook appears a reasonably good wager.
In fact, a Collector’s Version will possible include a hefty pricetag to match. The GTA 5 CE retailed for $150 in 2013, and with rumors that the bottom GTA 6 might be priced at $100, there is a risk that any particular version of GTA 6 will probably be $200+.
A widely known leaker claims no GTA 6 pre-orders ’till July or August’
As already famous, GTA 6 pre-orders going stay in the present day is actually only a rumor; there’s proof on each side, however we undoubtedly do not have affirmation from Rockstar.
As is often the case when a serious gaming rumor is floating round, Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson has weighed in on the subject material. In the course of the newest Insider Gaming Weekly podcast, Henderson suggests we would not hear something about GTA 6 till a lot later in the summertime. Particularly, till July or August. Which might be fairly the look ahead to a morsel of extra info.
Henderson has additionally steered that the Greatest Purchase e-mail, the one which kicked off the hype surrounding in the present day, is legit, however he is clearly not satisfied that it’s concrete proof that GTA 6 pre-orders are solely a matter of hours away. Solely time will inform…
This GTA 6 pre-order rumor is being in comparison with UFO sightings!
One other GTA 6 pre-order rumor doing the rounds on Reddit has an actual early 2000s web vibe. On the r/GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit, a poster claims to have noticed GTA 6 promotional materials by the window of a closed Danish electronics retailer.
The provided photographs are out of focus and blurry, and different customers have famous they photographs have an actual whiff of grainy UFO photos. It jogs my memory of the web of outdated, when swiftly doctored photographs would ship boards into meltdown. In fact, these photos might be reliable and additional proof that GTA 6 pre-orders are simply across the nook, however I am extremely skeptical.
Within the yr 2026, when most of us have very high-quality cameras in our pockets 24/7, such blurry photographs are often proof of any individual hiding one thing. To not point out, with the rise of A.I., making phony “leaks” has by no means been simpler.
Alleged Xbox Retailer replace places extra gasoline on the fireplace!
Buckle up, people! I believe in the present day will see lots of unverified claims, and I’ve simply noticed one over on the /r/GTA6 subreddit. A consumer, going by the identify “HugeRefrigerator4287,” has posted a screenshot of the Google search outcomes for the Portuguese Xbox Retailer with an up to date timestamp of “2 hours in the past.”
What does this imply? Effectively, if the screenshot is reliable (bear in mind to take every little thing you see on-line with a pinch of salt), it means that one thing on the Xbox Retailer itemizing web page for GTA 6 has been up to date within the very early hours of the morning. This is able to make sense if GTA 6 pre-orders had been certainly going stay in the present day.
Do not take this as direct affirmation, nevertheless it’s one other hopeful signal that one thing is brewing!
GTA 6 launches November 2026 (proper?)
Whereas I am holding a watch out for any updates on GTA 6 pre-orders, let’s speak about GTA 6’s launch date. At present, the sport is ready to launch on November 19, however after a number of delays and a 13-year hole between GTA 5 and 6, there are many fears in regards to the date shifting as soon as once more, almost definitely into 2027.
The excellent news is that Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive (Rockstar’s guardian firm), just lately appeared on the David Senra podcast and once more reaffirmed the November 19 date. Curiously, in the identical interview, Zelnick famous that “we’re about 18 months behind the unique date.” So, clearly, the event of GTA 6 has been fairly the marathon for the crew at Rockstar.
The Greatest Purchase e-mail that began all this!
Okay, so in case you’re tremendous out of the loop at current, and questioning why the web is in meltdown over GTA 6 (the /r/GTA6 subreddit is virtually on hearth), all of it hyperlinks again to Greatest Purchase. The electronics retailer stunned all people when it emailed members of its associates program final week, seemingly confirming that GTA 6 pre-orders would launch in the present day (Might 18). Rockstar itself has not commented on the matter, and even Greatest Purchase hasn’t confirmed the validity of the e-mail. So, this might show to be a nothingburger, however we’re hoping for a serious GTA 6 replace in the present day.
377 days and counting…
Tuesday, Might 6, 2025. That is the date that GTA 6 Trailer 2 dropped, and right here we’re greater than 12 months later, and it stays our final correct take a look at this massively anticipated online game. Since then, the one official information we have is the affirmation of a delay (from Might 26 to November 19), and in any other case Rockstar has been silent. The GTA neighborhood is determined for replace, might in the present day be the day?
