GTA 6: imminent opening of pre-orders for the most awaited game of the year?

Pre-orders for GTA 6 could start soon. With the release set for November 19 (a date that will almost certainly not be changed by Rockstar Games), the game is very close to entering the pre-order phase. The confirmation comes from an internal communication from the retailer Best Buy, which is preparing a specific campaign for the opening of pre-orders for the physical version of the game.

Appointment next week?
According to initial information, the pre-order opening date for GTA 6 is expected to be set for the next May 18. At the moment, there is still no confirmation from Rockstar and Take Two. The timing is now ripe for the start of pre-orders, considering that the game will be available in 6 months. An announcement next week should not be surprising.

Let’s remember that the game will initially be available only on PlayStation 5 and 5 Pro as well as on Xbox Series X and Series S. We will have to wait until next year for the debut of a PC version.

It remains to be seen the price of GTA 6, an element on which rumors and speculation have been circulating for some time but are still awaiting confirmation.
In the meantime, the stock price of Take Two has seen substantial growth in these hours, following the leaked information online regarding the opening of pre-orders, and may rise further in the future.

GTA 6 is the most anticipated game of the year and will inevitably monopolize the gaming news for the coming months. All we can do is wait for the next May 18 for confirmation regarding the opening of pre-orders.
