GTA 6 Pre-Loads Start November 10 and Need 212GB

GTA 6 pre-loads open November 10, and you'll need 212GB.

Xbox players in the US actually start first. Their download unlocks at 7pm ET on November 9. PS5 waits for local midnight, so New Zealand goes first.

Box buyers don't escape the download. Rockstar says code-in-box copies reach stores November 12.

What's next: No. That box holds a download code, so your console pulls the full game anyway. Watch November 10, when pre-loads become the first real stress test for PlayStation and Xbox servers.
