GTA 6 Pre-Load Is Now Open on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S; Game Needs Up to 212 GB
Digital buyers can now download Grand Theft Auto VI ahead of its 19 November launch, though the game stays locked until release day.
Players who pre-ordered Grand Theft Auto VI digitally can now start downloading it. Rockstar Games said on 3 November that pre-loading would open on Tuesday, 10 November, nine days before the game’s release on 19 November.
On Xbox Series X|S, the pre-load opened at the same moment worldwide, at midnight GMT on 10 November, which is 5:30 am in India. On PlayStation 5 it opens at midnight local time in each country, so buyers in India and the rest of Asia got access before those in the Americas.
Rockstar has said the download will need up to 212 GB of free space, depending on the console. Pre-loading was originally listed for 12 November and was brought forward by two days.
Boxed copies, due in shops from 12 November, carry a download code rather than the full game on a disc. Once the code is redeemed, the game downloads in the same way as a digital copy.
Pre-loading does not allow early play. The game remains locked until midnight local time on 19 November. It is coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only for now; no PC release has been announced.
