Players who preordered Grand Theft Auto VI digitally through the PlayStation Store or Xbox Store can reportedly begin downloading the game from November 10, nine days before its stated November 19 launch. The preload is said to require 212 GB of free console storage.
Preloading installs the game files in advance but does not provide early access. The game is expected to unlock at launch, allowing players with the completed download to start without waiting for the full installation on release day.
The November 19 rollout is also expected to begin in New Zealand at local midnight, meaning gameplay footage and potential story spoilers could emerge before the game becomes available in later time zones.
