Rockstar Games has set November 10 as the start date for pre-loading Grand Theft Auto VI, giving players nine days to download the game before its official release.
In an announcement on November 3, the publisher said PlayStation 5 users will be able to start downloading the game at midnight local time. On Xbox Series X|S, pre-loading will begin globally at 12 a.m. GMT.
The game will require up to 212 GB of storage, depending on the platform. Physical code-in-box editions for both consoles are also expected to reach retailers from November 12.
Grand Theft Auto VI is due for release on November 19, exclusively on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S at launch. Rockstar has published pre-loading instructions on its support website for players preparing to download the game.
The publisher also announced free printable versions of the game’s cover art and Leonida map, along with a physical poster available for $0.99 or free with any purchase from its store.
The launch comes less than three months after Rockstar released its nearly 27-minute extended look at the game on August 27. The presentation, captured entirely from in-game footage on PlayStation 5, offered a closer look at the characters, settings and gameplay ahead of the game’s official release.
