Grand Theft Auto 6 Opens Preloads November 10, Requiring Up to 212 GB

Summary
Grand Theft Auto 6 preloads unlock on November 10 ahead of the game's November 19 release, giving PS5 and Xbox Series X|S players their first chance to install it.
212 GB of storage is required, and the game cannot run from standard USB drives—PS5 owners need internal storage or an M.2 SSD, while Xbox players need internal SSD space or an Expansion Card.
Midnight timing differs by platform: PS5 preloads start at midnight local time on November 10, while Xbox opens globally at midnight GMT, or 7 p.m. ET on November 9 in the U.S.
Physical copies still deliver a download code rather than a disc, with retail boxes not expected until November 12; PlayStation codes are region-locked and the Ultimate Edition upgrade is digital-only.
Rockstar and console makers also urge players to update systems, enable automatic downloads and use proper power modes, as the large install and long play sessions could strain bandwidth and console cooling.
