Keen-eyed observers have noted that title IDs for Grand Theft Auto 6 have now been added to the PlayStation database, leading some to speculate that Rockstar is preparing to start preorders for the title.
X account PlayStation Game Size, which often reports on backend information for games on PlayStation, posted that two title IDs for GTA 6 have recently been added to the PlayStation database. Title IDs are a unique code assigned to each game on PlayStation, and their appearance in the system will often be a precursor to preorder sales, or other changes on a game’s store page. PlayStation Game Size adds that they “expect we’ll see something about the game soon, probably the start of preorders.”
Oddly enough, Grand Theft Auto 6 has two title IDs, while most games usually only require one. While reports suggest that GTA 6 will have three editions on release, PlayStation Game Size says that different editions of a game will still use the same title ID, leaving the second ID a mystery. Some have speculated that the second ID may instead be for a standalone GTA 6 Online app, but we’ll have to wait for more news from Rockstar to be certain.
As one of the most hotly anticipated video games in gaming history, analysts expect GTA 6’s release could drive a record-breaking year of income for the industry as a whole. Whenever preorders do open, store pages will likely be slammed by eager fans who have waited more than a decade for a new GTA game.
In Take-Two’s latest earnings call, the Rockstar parent company confirmed that GTA 6 is on track for its November 19 release date, and revealed that the game’s marketing campaign will kick off this summer.
