GTA 6 has been delayed a couple of times already, which naturally softens the concreteness of its current release date, but publisher Take-Two Interactive has reaffirmed that the massively anticipated game is still due out on November 19 as previously revealed. That said, recent rumors that Best Buy would soon open pre-orders are reportedly false, as Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has suggested marketing for the game will begin in earnest this summer.
The latest bit of bunk churned from the rumor mill claimed GTA 6 pre-orders were going live this week at US-based retailer Best Buy, with reports citing leaked affiliate emails confirming pre-order dates between May 18 and May 21. Obviously, with today being May 21, that turned out to be untrue, but Zelnick tells Bloomberg's Jason Schreier he has no idea where the rumor even came from and suggests we're still several weeks away from pre-orders.
