Rockstar Games has confirmed preload schedules, global release times, and a massive install size for GTA 6 ahead of its November 19 launch. PS5 players can begin downloading on November 10 at midnight local time, while Xbox Series X/S owners start earlier at 12am GMT. The preload file reaches up to 212 GB, and Rockstar is also offering a free digital cover art poster and map of Leonida on launch day.
Rockstar Games has confirmed that GTA 6's map will open relatively early, letting players freely explore the state of Leonida without the story-gated restrictions of previous entries. Rockstar North co-studio head Aaron Garbut also revealed the game features an order of magnitude more handcrafted interiors than any prior Rockstar title.
Game Informer has officially confirmed its exclusive 14-page Grand Theft Auto 6 cover story will launch for digital subscribers on September 29. The preview promises new details on Vice City, Leonida, weather systems, wildlife, and traversal across land, air, and sea. Twelve brand-new screenshots and artwork featuring protagonists Jason and Lucia will accompany the deep dive.
Grand Theft Auto VI launches on November 19, optimized for PS5 with innovative features like DualSense haptic feedback and Tempest 3D AudioTech. Pre-orders start June 25 on PlayStation Store, with exclusive bonuses for early adopters. Experience the expansive world of Leonida, including Vice City, with near-instant load times on PS5.
