Rockstar recently announced the pre-load schedule for GTA VI, with file sizes requiring up to 212GB of storage space depending on the device. Players who have pre-ordered the digital version for PS5 and XSX|S can begin downloading from November 10. The official reminder advises players to free up sufficient space on their consoles in advance.
Pre-loading start times differ between the two platforms: the PS5 version opens at midnight local time on November 10, while the XSX|S version opens at midnight GMT (8 AM Beijing time) on the same day. The game is scheduled for release on November 19, launching initially on these two platforms at a price of $79.99, available exclusively as a digital download.
The physical boxed edition of the game also does not include a disc with full data; the package only provides a digital download code. Rockstar allows retailers to start selling this version early from November 12, enabling buyers to complete the download before the official unlock, but the game's release time is still uniformly controlled by digital mechanisms.
