Pre-loading for GTA 6, the highly anticipated game from Rockstar Games, is now live. Players with a digital pre-order can download the game files to their consoles nine days ahead of the November 19 launch.
According to information Oyun Günlüğü obtained from Rockstar Games, PS5 pre-loading began on Tuesday, November 10 at midnight local time in each region. On XBOX Series X|S, pre-loading opened globally at the same moment, at 12 a.m. GMT on November 10. Rockstar had originally set the pre-load date as November 12 before moving it two days earlier.
How much space does GTA 6 need?
According to Rockstar, the pre-load file requires up to 212 GB of free space, depending on the device. Pre-loading does not mean early access. The downloaded files stay locked until launch day.
No disc in the box
The physical editions of GTA 6 contain only a download code instead of a disc. Boxed copies for PS5 and XBOX Series X|S are expected at retailers from November 12, and players who redeem the code can start pre-loading as well. If the code arrives late, players may miss most of the pre-load window.
When does GTA 6 unlock?
GTA 6 launches November 19, exclusively on PS5 and XBOX Series X|S. The game is not coming to PS4 or XBOX One. The PlayStation Store lists an unlock time of midnight local time in each region, which means New Zealand will be the first place to play. On November 19, Rockstar will add a free downloadable GTA 6 cover art poster and a map of Leonida to its official website.
Pre-order bonuses and editions
According to Rockstar, the Vintage Vice City Pack is free with all pre-orders and with purchases made before November 20. Players who pre-order digitally on the PlayStation Store before November 20 also receive one month of GTA+. The Ultimate Edition adds the ‘55 Vapid Stanier Sedan and a garage, outfits and hairstyles, and an exclusive weapon pattern. On the US PlayStation Store, the Standard Edition is listed at $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition at $99.99. The Collector’s Edition does not include the game itself and can only be pre-ordered through the Rockstar Store.
