Key Points:
- Rockstar Games has begun the pre-load process for Grand Theft Auto VI digital pre-orders on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with a staged rollout on PS5 starting at midnight local time by region and a simultaneous global launch on Xbox at 00:00 GMT on November 10th.
- The PS5 pre-load starts earliest in New Zealand and progresses through Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Europe, and finally the Americas, while Xbox users worldwide can begin pre-loading simultaneously at the set GMT time, resulting in a 13-hour delay compared to Sony's initial slot.
- Key country-specific pre-load times vary, with players advised to check local schedules, such as PS5 users in the US starting at 9:00 PM EST on November 10th and Xbox users at 7:00 PM EST on November 9th.
- Players must ensure they have over 200 GB of free space on their consoles' SSDs to accommodate the large game file and associated day-one patches.
- Early server activation aims to reduce launch-day congestion, allowing users to download the base game and updates ahead of the official release for a smoother gaming experience.
