The day has come: if you’ve preordered Grand Theft Auto 6, you can now preload the game onto your PS5 or Xbox Series X|S. You’ll need 212GB of space on your drive, but if you have the free storage space, you can load the game onto your console so it’s ready to go when it releases on November 19 (you can check your global release time here).
If you preordered a “physical copy,” you’ll have to wait until it arrives to preload it, but it should be delivered within the next few days. I use scare quotes on the words “physical copy” because there is no actual disc version of GTA 6. Physical copies are simply a box that includes a code you can redeem on the PlayStation Store or Xbox Store.
Those who haven’t preordered a copy can do so now and begin their preload. It’s available in two editions: standard and ultimate. The ultimate edition comes with a bunch of extra in-game digital items, detailed below.
Physical copies of GTA 6 are only available for the standard edition. But, if you want a box to put on your shelf and you also want the ultimate edition, you can buy the physical standard edition, and then buy the “Ultimate Edition Upgrade,” which basically turns your standard edition into the ultimate edition. The total cost is the same.
Standard Edition (Physical) – $79.99
