March has just begun, and now is as good a time as any to panic at the lack of new Grand Theft Auto 6 announcements. Well, aside from Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick assuring that it would launch this year, but after two big delays, who can really say? The PlayStation Store database, perhaps.

According to PlayStation Game Size on Twitter, which has access to the back-end, title IDs for Grand Theft Auto 6 were recently added to the store. Now, this doesn’t necessarily mean that pre-orders will begin soon, but more that they’re potentially on track for whenever Rockstar is ready to announce them.

Launch marketing will begin this Summer, according to Zelnick, and with the Summer Game Fest showcase set for June, pre-orders could open shortly after the new trailer debuts. It also wouldn’t be too surprising if various outlets managed to go hands-on with the title, revealing even more details.

In the meantime, Grand Theft Auto 6 launches on November 19th for Xbox Series X/S and PS5. Despite its physical release allegedly being delayed by several weeks to prevent spoilers, Zelnick confirmed this wasn’t the case. He also assured that it wasn’t using any generative AI, and that everything was hand-built “from the ground up” by Rockstar Games.
