GTA 6 pre-order rumors fail to materialize despite Best Buy emails

Grand Theft Auto VI fans expressed frustration yesterday after expected pre-orders did not launch as rumored. Reports of Best Buy emails advertising a discount had built anticipation, but no listings appeared by mid-morning.

Last week multiple fans shared emails from Best Buy promoting 5 percent discounts on physical copies of Grand Theft Auto VI for orders placed between May 18 and May 21. Several verified the messages through screenshots and livestreams, leading to widespread discussion on Reddit and gaming forums. By 10 a.m. ET on May 18 no pre-order options were available on the retailer site, prompting renewed disappointment across the community.
