GoKawiilIt's rare that you can say a game will be the bestselling game of that year, and the likely Game of the Year winner, before it's even released, let alone years in advance. But that's where we're at with Grand Theft Auto 6, which is set to come out this year, and if rumors are true, preorders for the game are just around the corner.
Calling GTA 6 a highly anticipated game doesn't do it justice. It's been more than a decade since the release of GTA 5, and after multiple delays, the latest entry in the GTA franchise is on its way. Will GTA 6 be the greatest game ever created? Who knows, but the excitement for it will get to a fever pitch as the year progresses.
What is the release date for GTA 6?
GTA 6 is currently expected to be released on Nov. 19, 2026. The game was initially slated for a 2025 release, but was twice delayed, to a May 2026 release, then to November.
Is GTA 6 available for preorder?
GTA 6 is not yet available for preorder, though rumors suggest it's imminent. On May 13, a Reddit thread compiled multiple social media posts of a preorder email campaign for the game starting on May 18 at Best Buy. Insider Gaming reported that it had confirmed with affiliates that the emails were real.
The X account GTA6Alerts posted on Thursday some code and an image from Rockstar Games' website showing details about a call-to-action for preorders.
Rockstar didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on the May 18 preorder date.
There is additional speculation that, along with the preorders, a new trailer for the game will be released.
