GTA 6 pre-loads begin today for PS5 — start downloading now and get ready for these big exclusive features
Rockstar's GTA 6 is finally available for pre-load alongside a grip of PS5 Pro features. Here's what's on offer.
Starting today, if you've pre-ordered Grand Theft Auto 6, you can now preload the game, which requires up to 212GB of storage space. Those who received the code-in-a-box version can preload it as soon as they obtain the physical package, according to PlayStation. This highly anticipated game may necessitate some adjustments to your system in order to run it smoothly.
We have prepared a guide to assist you in preparing your PS5 (or Xbox) before preloading the game. If you haven't pre-ordered GTA 6 yet, you still have time to do so, and once you've completed the purchase, you can immediately start preloading the game before the November 19 launch date. It's worth noting that PS5 exclusives, such as the enhanced visuals and ray-traced shadows available on the PS5 Pro, could provide a slight advantage for PlayStation users.
Rockstar specifically highlighted the PS5 Pro's capabilities, including PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) and ray-traced shadows, which only the Pro console offers. The PlayStation 5 Pro delivers stunning visuals, with improved clarity through PSSR and ray-traced shadows exclusive to the Pro model. Across the PS5 lineup, GTA 6 takes advantage of features like the DualSense's built-in speakers, haptic feedback, and adaptive triggers to create a more immersive gaming experience.
The game also features high-fidelity haptic feedback fully integrated into the DualSense controllers, adjustable through accessibility settings, improved spatial audio rendering to fully utilize Tempest 3D Audio, and faster load times thanks to the console's high-speed SSD. Although Xbox players can enjoy Xbox Cloud Gaming, the game will be streamed at Xbox Series S graphics settings, potentially hindered by connection speeds.
The game supports remote play on both PlayStation and Xbox, making your Portal even more useful. If you have the console ready, here's some essential GTA 6 gear to ensure you're fully prepared for the ultimate gaming experience.
