Grand Theft Auto VI Preloads Are Going Live: Pre-Order Now to Play at Launch

Preloads for Grand Theft Auto VI are beginning, letting players download the game before its official release so they can start playing when it launches on 19 November. The rollout matters to players planning to play at launch, as downloading the files in advance could avoid waiting for a large download on release day.

Downloads open on 10 November at midnight GMT for Xbox Series X/S, and at midnight local time for PlayStation 5. The game requires 212 GB of storage and remains locked until its regional launch time on 19 November; physical editions containing a download code are available to pre-order from Amazon, but are due to arrive on 12 November.
