[59449] New Estimates: GTA VI Pre-orders May Begin as Early as May 18th

Is the GTA VI pre-order just around the corner?

According to reports coming from several sources in the gaming industry, it is possible that Rockstar Games is preparing to open pre-orders for the highly anticipated game Grand Theft Auto VI as early as May 18th. The information arrived following a leak of a letter intended for partners in the Best Buy retail chain's bonus program. According to Exploit, the campaign to promote the pre-order is expected to run between May 18th and 21st.

The report has been verified by several other channels, including Rozetked, DTF, and НМШ. According to DTF's report, the timing is not accidental: on May 21st, Take-Two, the parent company of Rockstar, is expected to publish its financial report. As noted by Exploit, the company tends to announce significant news before releasing periodic reports.

In addition to the sale date, the Беспощадный Банкстер channel – which takes a critical and cynical line toward corporations and global events – notes that the letter hints at a staggered release strategy, whereby only the game's story campaign will be launched initially, while the online mode will be released at a later date.

Although no official response has yet been received from Rockstar or Take-Two, the credibility of the report is bolstered by the fact that YouTubers and other sources have displayed photographs of the letter in question. As the Карельский бальзам channel summarizes, the community is following the developments with anticipation, as it is one of the most highly anticipated games in the history of the industry.
