GTA 6 pre-load and file size
Digital pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI opened on 10 November 2026, nine days before launch. Plan for up to about 212 GB of free space.
When pre-loading opened
Rockstar first said pre-loading would start on 12 November, then brought it forward to 10 November in a Newswire post on 3 November 2026. On PS5 it opened at midnight local time; on Xbox it opened worldwide at midnight GMT. Rockstar’s “Pre-Load Now” post on 10 November confirmed it was live for everyone who had pre-ordered.
How much space
Rockstar’s pre-load FAQ says the download needs up to 212 GB of available space, depending on the console. Clearing space before launch day avoids a wait.
