Rockstar may open up GTA 6 pre-orders next week

It looks like Take-Two will soon ramp up marketing for Grand Theft Auto 6. We already knew that there were plans to reveal more about the game this Summer, but now a major US retailer may have leaked the pre-order date. 

According to a Best Buy Affiliate Program email sent out to participants, the US retail giant will begin accepting pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto 6 next week. This has fans anticipating a new trailer to release around the same time, reaffirming the release date and opening up pre-orders widely.

It is also entirely possible that Best Buy is acting on its own here and opening up pre-orders to get an idea of the number of physical copies it will have to order. Many retailers offer pre-orders for highly-anticipated games separately from the publisher, as they can source the product through distribution channels.

As pointed out by VGC, Take-Two is set to hold its quarterly earnings call on May 21st, which would line-up with Best Buy's plans to open up pre-orders. In the past, Rockstar has made announcements either right before, or immediately after Take-Two earnings calls.

KitGuru Says: While we have had two trailers so far, Grand Theft Auto 6 still seems like an intangible thing at the moment. With marketing ramping up, fans should start to feel confidence in the November release date.
