The anticipation for GTA 6 is about to reach a boiling point. Today, May 21, Take‑Two Interactive holds its quarterly earnings call, and fans are almost certain that the long‑awaited third trailer – and pre‑orders – will finally arrive. As the clock ticks down, a new leak (originating from 4chan, so treat it with caution) has resurfaced a divisive topic: a $99 price tag for a premium edition.
What the Leak Claims
An anonymous poster, whose claims were shared by the X account GTA6_Premium, says they work closely with Rockstar Games but cannot reveal specifics. According to the leak:
- Rockstar will share an announcement two hours before the Take‑Two earnings call.
- That announcement will be the third trailer, followed immediately by pre‑orders going live on PlayStation and Xbox stores.
- Two editions will be offered: a standard edition at $69.99 and a premium edition at $99.99.
- The PC version is still expected in 2027, not at launch.
The leaker did not detail what the premium edition includes, but based on Rockstar’s history (GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2), it could include in‑game currency, exclusive cosmetics, early access to certain weapons or vehicles, or perhaps a steelbook case for physical buyers.
Why This Could Be Plausible
Take‑Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has repeatedly stated that the standard edition of GTA 6 will be priced with “value delivery” in mind, hinting at the industry‑standard $69.99. However, he never ruled out a higher‑priced premium edition. A $99.99 deluxe or ultimate edition would not be unprecedented – many AAA titles now offer tiers that bundle the base game with season passes, bonus content, or virtual currency. Rockstar already does this with GTA Online’s Shark Cards.
The leak’s timing is also convenient. Today’s earnings call is the perfect stage for a major reveal. Zelnick will want to give investors exciting news, and a trailer + pre‑order launch would certainly boost confidence.
A Heavy Dose of Skepticism
That said, the leak originated on 4chan, an anonymous imageboard with no credibility. Anyone can post anything. The “two hours before the earnings call” window is fast approaching, but as of this writing, Rockstar has not made any announcement. It’s entirely possible the leak is fabricated to capitalize on the hype.
Moreover, previous leaks – such as the Best Buy pre‑order window – turned out to be false. Fans should not take this latest rumor as fact.

What to Expect Today
Take‑Two’s earnings call is scheduled for May 21. Historically, Rockstar has dropped major news just before these calls. If Trailer 3 is coming, it would almost certainly be accompanied by pre‑orders. Standard pricing is widely expected to be $69.99 / £69.99. A premium edition at a higher price point is plausible, but the $99 figure remains unconfirmed.
For now, keep your eyes on Rockstar’s social channels and the PlayStation Store / Xbox Marketplace. If the leak is accurate, the trailer and pre‑orders could appear within hours. If not, the wait continues – but not much longer.
Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. A PC version is expected later.
