Grand Theft Auto 6 is undoubtedly going to be a generation-defining game, and fans around the world can’t wait to finally get their hands on the long-awaited sequel. Well, as we inch closer and closer to that coveted November 19 release date, one question is on everyone’s mind: can you pre-order GTA 6?
The last thing you’d want is for the game to release, and for you to miss out because you didn’t get there soon enough. For others, it’s simply about peace of mind, knowing that when the time comes, you’ll be able to boot up GTA 6 without a stress in the world.
For everyone concerned, here’s whether you can pre-order GTA 6.
Can You Pre-Order GTA 6?
As things stand, you cannot officially pre-order Grand Theft Auto 6, with details like the game’s price not even announced yet.
You might be able to pre-order the game from some retailers, with a placeholder pre-order occasionally available, but if you’re looking for the real deal from major outlets, you’ll have to wait a little while longer.

It might be agonising at this point, especially since the November release date is just five months away. However, it doesn’t look like the wait should be too much longer, as some news has broken regarding GTA 6’s pre-orders…
When Can You Pre-Order GTA 6?
According to a leak from Best Buy, GTA 6 pre-orders will officially open on May 18, 2026, practically five months before the game is due to release.
Affiliates associated with Best Buy received an email stating that GTA 6 pre-orders will go live on May 18, and it has sent the community into a buzz. With recent hysteria surrounding when Trailer 3 will be released, it’s all pointing to a big reveal from Rockstar Games.

The common theory is that Trailer 3 will drop on Monday, May 18, and following the new trailer, pre-orders will officially go live. By then, it would have been a year since we last saw new GTA 6 footage, so it makes sense that Rockstar would want to remind fans of the blockbuster title before opening pre-orders.
