GTA 6 pre-orders open May 18 to 21 per a claimed Best Buy affiliate email: contested

May 17, 2026 chain completion. VGC tier_2 press carrier added as entry 11 on the Best Buy preorder chain. Verdict and confidence held at contested 35; the May 16 Insider Gaming walkback row remains the load-bearing audit-trail signal. VGC adds independent tier_2 press depth alongside the existing Insider Gaming, NotebookCheck, and GameSpot tier_2 carries. No verdict ladder movement; this is chain rigor. Verdict contested.
