GTA 6 pre-orders rumored to start soon. What we know (and what we think we know).

A tweet from a notorious PlayStation leaker has sent the internet into a frenzy over Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders. We still don't know anything official, but the rumor mill has gone into overdrive over the mere possibility of news on Rockstar's long-delayed Grand Theft Auto VI.

According to X account PlayStation Game Size, title IDs have been added to the PlayStation database for GTA VI, with the account warning that news on the game should be expected to drop soon — and in their estimation, that means pre-orders could be right around the corner.

The post stops short of confirming anything and remains largely speculative, but make no mistake: PlayStation Game Size has a proven track record that's earned them serious credibility with other outlets.

As one possible reference point, ahead of Red Dead Redemption 2's Oct. 26 release date back in 2018, pre-orders went live in June. However, the new GTA game could follow an entirely different schedule, and given the delays, Rockstar may be eager to offer gamers something as soon as possible.

In a comment under the post, a user pressed the leaker on how long pre-orders could take to open after title IDs hit the backend.

"Completely depends on the publisher, and it's not something I know for sure. But I don't think there's going to be a long wait." Not exactly a concrete answer, but not a dismissal either.

The prospect of pre-orders arriving "soon-ish" is massive news for a game that has already been delayed twice and is widely rumored to carry a price tag north of the standard $70 — itself a price point that only became the industry's new normal in 2022.

With GTA VI currently locked in for a November 19, 2026, release date and publisher Take-Two confirming last month that a full-on marketing blitz kicks off this summer, the hype machine is officially warming up.
