Grand Theft Auto 6 comes out on November 19 and is set to be one of the year’s biggest games. And now Rockstar have given all the details you need to know so you’ll be ready for its launch and won’t miss a second of gameplay. Because one thing that’s going to happen is that the servers will probably struggle when we finally get access to the game. So it’s better to be prepared.
A somewhat messy launch
According to Rockstar, preloading the game on PlayStation 5 can begin at midnight next Tuesday, November 10. What that midnight means depends on where you are, because it will be a preload that rolls out progressively. Depending on where you are, the preload will begin the moment it turns midnight in your specific time zone, which means the first to be able to do it will be New Zealanders.
On the other hand, on Xbox Series X|S and for physical copies it won’t be a progressive rollout. For Xbox, the download will begin on Tuesday, November 10 at 12AM GMT, which is 1AM in Spain. For the physical edition, stores will be able to hand out the codes, and by extension begin preloads on consoles, from November 12 onward. one week before launch.
Also, we already know how much free space you’ll need to have on the console: a whopping 212GB. So you’ll probably have to delete several games from your console to download GTAVI. Also, they’ve confirmed that a map of Leonida and a printable cover poster will be free digital downloads available on Rockstar’s website, but not a physical double-sided version of the poster, which will cost $0.99, or will be given away with any purchase in the Rockstar Store after the game’s launch. So it seems Rockstar still has quite a few more things in the works to keep players interested.
