Grand Theft Auto 6 Pre-Orders May Go Live On Monday, Thanks To Best Buy Slip-Up - Kotaku

"Over the past 24 hours, several content creators and users have shared images of a "Special Offer" they've received for a physical pre-order of the game, starting on "May 18." However, Sony isn't to blame this time around , as said marketing offer reportedly comes directly from the consumer electronics retailer Best Buy."

"While these things are, of course, relatively easy to fake, the users sharing the reported emails from Best Buy have gone above and beyond to prove that they're real. For instance, FrogboyX1Gaming opted to livestream himself physically opening the email on his phone to prove to the doubters that it isn't fake."

"The email itself doesn't give too much away, but it's also simultaneously a lot more than fans have received in the past year. The alleged email from Best Buy specifically states that it's for a "Physical" pre-order for Grand Theft Auto 6 , and, if you purchase the game between May 18 and May 21, you'll get a small discount."

"Now, provided this is all true, I'd wager that probably means that this pre-order reveal was supposed to go out alongside a new trailer for the game, as that's the way that Rockstar Games generally like to announce pre-orders. Maybe that means we'll get a trailer on Monday, or maybe it means we'll get one a little sooner, but I'd put good money on one coming our way in"

Reports claim multiple users received “Special Offer” emails from Best Buy for a physical Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-order starting May 18. The emails reportedly include a discount for purchases made between May 18 and May 21. Some recipients shared evidence to counter skepticism, including livestreaming the email opening on a phone and compiling posts on a gaming leaks subreddit. The email content is said to reveal limited details beyond the physical pre-order and the date-based discount window. If accurate, the timing suggests the offer may align with a planned pre-order reveal and a new trailer, consistent with Rockstar Games’ typical announcement approach.
