GTA 6 pre-orders today? Denmark store signs and Italian gaming website fuel hype

New Delhi: GTA 6 pre-order chatter is back in full force today, May 18, and fans are watching every retail page like it is a crime scene in Vice City. The latest round of buzz comes after earlier claims that GTA 6 physical pre-orders could begin today, based on a reported Best Buy affiliate email leak from May 14.

Rockstar Games and Take-Two have not officially announced pre-orders yet, so this remains a wait-and-watch situation. Still, fresh retailer activity, a Walmart database listing, and Denmark store signage have made the rumour mill louder. And yes, for GTA fans, even a missing web page is now treated like evidence.

Why GTA 6 pre-order rumours are getting louder

The earlier leak claimed that GTA 6 physical game pre-orders may run from May 18 to May 21, 2026. The reported Best Buy promotion mentioned, “GTA 6 Pre Order (Physical Game). Duration: May 18, 2026 – May 21, 2026. Online Sale: 5%.”

The leak first gained attention after YouTuber Frogboyx1Gaming reportedly showed the alleged email on stream. InsiderGaming later independently verified the Best Buy affiliate email.

GTA 6 Walmart listing adds more fuel

A Walmart page for Grand Theft Auto VI was reportedly spotted and later taken down. The page data reportedly included the name “Grand Theft Auto VI” and a Walmart category URL.

Reddit user u/esketitethan and GTAForums spotted the listing. The key claim is that this was an actual data point in Walmart’s database, not just a search result or random index page.

GTA 6 Denmark store signage spotted

The retail trail does not stop there. A store in Denmark was reportedly seen carrying GTA 6 pre-order signage. An Italian retailer also appears to have a GTA 6 pre-order link open on its website, with a 69.90 Euro price tag.

For now, these sightings should be taken carefully. Retailers sometimes prepare pages early. Sometimes they jump the gun. Sometimes gamers just catch them mid-cleanup.

What Take-Two has said about GTA 6 release

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick recently confirmed the GTA 6 release date in an interview with David Serna. He said, “It’s November 19, 2026. I do know. No, it’s been announced.”

On delays, Zelnick added, “It’s been pushed back, I think twice. I think we are about 18 months behind the original date. Not much more than that.”

So, will GTA 6 pre-orders go live today? There is smoke, but no official fire yet. Fans should keep an eye on Rockstar, Take-Two and major retailers before taking any leak as final.
