An email mistakenly sent to an affiliated streamer has revealed the pre-sale dates for the physical edition of GTA 6. According to the leak, pre-orders will begin on May 18, 2026, and will run until May 21, the day the game's final price is also expected to be revealed. Although the information has not been confirmed by Rockstar, it is already generating excitement among fans of the saga. 🎮
Technical details of the leaked pre-order campaign 🔍
The internal document, addressed to retail outlets, details a reservation system with a refundable deposit and a standard physical edition. It specifies that full payment will be made upon picking up the game, and that the final price will be announced on the last day of the campaign. The leak also suggests there will be pre-order bonuses, although which ones are not specified. Rockstar has not issued any official statements.
The email an intern forgot to BCC ☕
Everything points to human error still being the Achilles' heel of large companies. Someone at Rockstar, probably in a hurry to go home, included a streamer in an internal email. The worst part isn't the leak itself, but thinking that the same employee might now be sending GTA 6 prices to their WhatsApp group. Data security sometimes depends on not skipping breakfast coffee.
