GTA 6 pre-load date, time and file size

When does GTA 6 go live for pre-load?

GTA 6 pre-load is almost upon us. Plenty of you are counting down to this one, and with good reason: get the download done early and you can jump straight in on launch day instead of watching a progress bar. No more preamble — the GTA 6 pre-load date, time and file size are all below.

GTA 6 pre-load date, time and file size

On PlayStation 5, pre-load for GTA 6 opens on Tuesday 10th November at midnight in your local time zone.

On Xbox Series X/S, pre-loading starts at 12am GMT on Tuesday 10th November. Here's what that means elsewhere:

  • UK - 12am (midnight GMT) on Tuesday 10th November
  • Europe - 1am (CET) on Tuesday 10th November
  • East Coast US - 7pm (EST) on Monday 9th November
  • West Coast US - 4pm (PST) on Monday 9th November

Not on the list? Use a time zone converter to work out your slot.

Whichever console you're on, GTA 6 needs 212 GB to pre-load. I'd also clear some extra space on top of that, so you're covered if a patch lands on or after launch day.

One more thing: switch on automatic updates for your console. That way GTA 6 stays pre-loaded and ready, and you won't lose a moment when launch day arrives.

Good luck with your downloads — see you in Leonida. If you want a refresher on the game, have a look at everything we know about GTA 6 so far.
