Good morning and welcome to our live ticker for the potential pre-order launch of GTA 6. We are monitoring social media as well as the official channels of the retailers and Rockstar Games, so you don’t miss out on the pre-order if it happens. So make sure to bookmark this page and stay tuned!
Is it true that pre-orders can be made today? Yes, if you believe various sources on social media. Currently, the focus is reportedly on the US market, as Best Buy, one of the largest US electronics retail chains, is said to have sent out an email to various affiliate partners and influencers, promising a time frame and a 5% commission on revenues (Source: x.com).
The period of the action is said to run from May 18 to May 21, 2026 – note that this likely does not refer to the pre-order period, but rather the timeframe of the action. After that, you could probably also order a copy of GTA 6.
If this is true, it is quite possible that various retailers could start accepting your pre-orders from May 18 onwards. Unfortunately, Rockstar Games has not responded, which is why many dismiss this report as a rumor and speculation.
Therefore, we are monitoring the situation for you and providing you with all the new information regarding trailers and the pre-order as well as prices in our live ticker.
Is a new trailer coming? That is very likely. Currently, the developers are still silent, but to celebrate the pre-sale appropriately and to draw attention again, the release of a new trailer could be advantageous. Perhaps Rockstar will show new snippets from the story or details about the protagonists. Either way, fans are looking forward to the opportunity to finally get closer to the game.
How much will the pre-order cost? Unfortunately, no one knows that for sure yet. GTA 6 is the most anticipated game at the moment. Prices could range from €69.99 to €89.99 and even higher.
If you see the game displayed in an online shop at a certain price before the pre-orders officially start, caution is advised. Various retailers like to use placeholder prices to present their products before the sale. It is therefore quite possible that these will change by the official start.
That was all the important information you should know about the pre-sale of GTA 6. Nothing has happened yet, so to ensure you don’t miss anything, you should definitely follow our live ticker.
