Can’t use the word “buy” if you can’t actually buy the thing.

      I assume the standard “I didn’t wait to see the reviews” cosmetic that all pre-orders seem to give people these days

      If it’s anything like Forza Horizon 6, they are reserving the ability to play the game five days before everybody else.

        I doubt they will do that because they’re releasing a story focused single player game, they don’t want spoilers out

          Even better for Rockstar, they can say:

          Oi if you don’t want spoliers you better lock in and preorder right now (you scum).

      The ability to have it all downloaded and ready to go at launch, I guess. Wouldn’t be so bad if the price weren’t raised out of blatant greed while simultaneously removing the option to get a sellable license via a disc.
