Hopes that preorders for Grand Theft Auto 6 would start on Monday seem to have reached a dead end.<\/p>\n
Some content creators in Best Buy’s affiliate program claimed to receive emails indicating that GTA 6 preorders begin on May 18, and optimistic fans speculated that a third trailer for Rockstar’s next blockbuster would drop at the same time. But such heresay seems to be a pipe dream, with an administrator in the (unofficial) GTA Forums claiming that a source in a European distribution company “confirmed there’s no pre-orders,” per IGN.<\/p>\n
As of Monday morning, GTA 6 has yet to emerge on any major online retailer. Assuming that holds for the rest of the day, it’ll end another chapter in the long wait for GTA 6, defined by the GTA fan base’s restlessness and eagerness to grasp at straws. The latest rumors of GTA 6 preorders even boosted stock prices for Rockstar’s parent company, Take-Two—-leading to a drop Monday morning, which has since been recouped.<\/p>\n
