GTA VI Physical Pre-Orders May Start May 18, Best Buy Leak Suggests

Multiple sources have confirmed that Best Buy sent out an email alert for Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders early, marking a May 18th start date for pre-orders of the physical PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions of the game. This timing is six months ahead of the November 19th launch date and follows just days after Sony began prompting PS4 players to make the leap to PS5 for the game. This suggests that, contrary to other rumors, Grand Theft Auto VI's release may in fact locked in for November, and retailers like Best Buy can now prepare for initial shipments of the game, though we suppose there is still a chance of yet another delay.
