GTA VI pre-load countdown

GTA VI digital pre-loading opens on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, nine days before the November 19 launch, per Rockstar’s November 3 Newswire post (moved up from November 12). On PS5 it starts at midnight local time in each region; on Xbox Series X|S it starts at 12am GMT on November 10 for everyone, which is 7pm ET / 4pm PT on November 9.

Code-in-box copies reach retailers from November 12. Rockstar puts the space needed at up to 212GB depending on the console. On PlayStation, starting the pre-load ends the standard pre-order cancellation right, so decide before November 10.
