'GTA 6' Early Preload Times And File Size Confirmed By Rockstar
Rockstar Games reveals when GTA 6 fans can begin preloading the highly-anticipated open-world adventure and how much hard drive space they'll need
Grand Theft Auto 6, commonly known as GTA 6, is set to be released on November 19. With the anticipation building, the game can be preloaded as early as November 10 on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox platforms. Preload times differ slightly depending on the console: for PS5, it begins at midnight local time on Tuesday, November 10, while Xbox users can start their preload at the same time but at GMT.
Players can purchase GTA 6 digitally from their platform's store or as a physical retail box containing a download code, which will be available in stores from November 12. Additionally, Rockstar will offer a printable version of the game's cover art poster and the Leonida map beginning on November 19. For those who prefer a poster, an official two-sided version featuring both the cover art and map can be bought from Rockstar for $0.99.
To ensure a smooth download of GTA 6, players need at least 212 GB of free storage on their device, as the game is quite large. The console makers, especially PlayStation 5, have recently received two firmware updates, possibly aimed at preventing jailbreaking attempts before the GTA 6 release. With a couple of weeks still remaining until the release, it is likely that there might be further hardware updates leading up to the game's launch. To play GTA 6 as soon as possible, it is crucial to keep consoles updated.
