When can I pre-load GTA 6?
Rockstar confirmed on 3 November that the pre-load starts two days earlier than first planned:
| Console | Pre-load starts |
|---|---|
| PS5 | Tue 10 Nov, midnight local time |
| Xbox Series X|S | Tue 10 Nov, 00:00 GMT (Mon 9 Nov, 4pm PT / 7pm ET) |
If you pre-ordered digitally, the download should start on its own if automatic downloads are switched on. Otherwise go to the game in your library and start it yourself.
How big is GTA 6?
Rockstar says the pre-load needs up to 212 GB, depending on your device. The original PS5 has about 667 GB of usable space, so most players will have to delete a few games. Do it before 10 November, not on launch night.
Where can I pre-order GTA 6?
On the PlayStation Store, the Microsoft Store and at retailers. There are no game discs: the boxed version is a code in a box, in shops from 12 November, so physical buyers download the same 212 GB.
GTA 6 pre-order bonus
The Vintage Vice City Pack comes with every copy bought before 20 November. It includes a ’55 Vapid Stanier, the Shore Court Garage, two outfits and hairstyles. On the PlayStation Store, a digital pre-order also includes one month of GTA+ (claim before 31 March, auto-renews). The editions and prices are in our GTA 6 price guide.
GTA 6 pre-order: FAQ
Can I play GTA 6 early with a pre-load?
No. The pre-load only downloads the game. It unlocks on 19 November. See our release date guide for unlock times.
Do I lose the bonus if I buy on launch day?
No. The Vintage Vice City Pack is for everyone who buys before 20 November, so launch day still counts.
Can I cancel a GTA 6 pre-order?
That depends on the store. Digital pre-orders follow the PlayStation Store’s or Microsoft Store’s own refund rules, so check them before release day.
