GTA 6 preload release date: When you can download the game

Grand Theft Auto VI owners who pre-ordered the game can soon prepare for its arrival on their consoles. Preloading offers a unique opportunity to install the full game on your hard drive prior to the official release date, providing ample storage space for the anticipated title. Rockstar has outlined the specifics of the preloading process, differing slightly between PlayStation 5 and Xbox console users.

PS5 gamers can kick off the preloading process on Tuesday, November 10, at midnight in their local time zone. Meanwhile, Xbox players can begin the preloading procedure at 12 a.m. GMT on the same day. It's important to note that preloading does not grant early access to play the game; it remains locked and unavailable until the official launch in your region.

Rockstar has also revealed that GTA VI will occupy up to 212GB of your console's hard drive, so prepare for a significant data usage increase by deleting other games if necessary.
