Likely the most awaited game ever, GTA 6 is now merely weeks away. As the release approaches, we’re addressing everything you ought to understand about its PS5 debut, encompassing download options and launch timings. In this GTA 6 overview, we discuss the GTA 6 launch timings and download.
What Are the GTA 6 Launch Timing?
Rockstar has yet to disclose any global GTA 6 launch timings, so for now, we’re assuming that the game will unlock and be accessible at midnight on 19th November in your local timezone. If this changes, we’ll amend the article.
When Can You Begin Downloading GTA 6?
If you pre-order the game, GTA 6 will be accessible for download starting 12th November. This is one week ahead of its release.
Pre-ordering digitally means your download should commence automatically on PS5 as soon as it becomes ready. The boxed physical edition, which contains just a code inside, will also be released on 12th November, the same day. You can redeem the code found inside the packaging to initiate the download of the digital version of GTA 6 if you purchase it this way.
What’s the GTA 6 Download Size?
The download size of GTA 6 hasn’t been officially disclosed yet, so we currently don’t know how much data you’ll be pulling onto your PS5 in the approaching weeks. However, considering the game’s scale and magnitude, it’s anticipated to require a substantial amount of space.
Since the title isn’t being distributed on a disc in the physical version, Rockstar doesn’t have to be concerned about maintaining a reasonable file size to fit on a disc — or two (or three). Unless, of course, they intend to ship the disc while requiring a significant download once it’s inserted into the PS5.
