A brand-new email reportedly sent out by Best Buy has sent the GTA 6 community into absolute meltdown mode after suggesting that preorders for the game may officially begin between May 18 and May 21.

According to multiple reports online, the email has already been verified as legitimate, immediately fueling theories that Rockstar Games could finally be preparing to launch the next major phase of GTA 6 marketing.

And naturally… fans are now convinced Trailer 3 could arrive within days.

Best Buy Email Hints at GTA 6 Preorder Window

The email allegedly references upcoming preorder availability for GTA 6 between May 18 and May 21, lining up almost perfectly with growing speculation surrounding Take-Two Interactive’s upcoming investor call.

For weeks now, fans have been theorizing that Rockstar would need to start opening preorders and ramping up marketing soon if the game truly remains on track for its officially announced November 19, 2026 release date.

This latest leak has only added more fuel to the fire.

Trailer 3 Rumors Exploding Online

With preorder campaigns typically launching alongside major marketing beats, many players now believe a third GTA 6 trailer could arrive sometime within the next few days.

The timing would honestly make sense.

Rockstar has remained unusually quiet since the previous trailer drop, and with only six months remaining until launch, fans have been expecting:

• new gameplay footage,
• screenshots,
• collector’s editions,
• preorder bonuses,
• and additional story details.

Now, for the first time in a while, the speculation actually feels grounded in something tangible rather than random internet detective work.

GTA Community Entering Peak Hype Mode

The GTA fanbase is already notorious for analyzing literally everything:

• store page updates,
• hidden website changes,
• retailer listings,
• Rockstar employee activity,
• marketing placeholders,
• and even empty banner spaces.

But a verified retailer email mentioning preorder timing is a very different level of evidence compared to the usual theories.

Of course, nothing has been officially confirmed yet by Rockstar or Take-Two themselves, so players should still approach everything cautiously.

That said… if preorders really are about to open, it’s hard to imagine Rockstar waiting much longer before dropping Trailer 3.

And honestly? It genuinely feels like something big could finally happen this week.
