Overview
- Rockstar confirmed Grand Theft Auto VI has gone gold and began regional digital preloads on Nov. 10, with the game scheduled to unlock worldwide on Nov. 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
- The preload is large: platform listings and Rockstar state a maximum download of about 212 GB, so players are being urged to free drive space and retailers will ship code‑in‑box editions rather than physical discs.
- Both Sony and Microsoft say GTA VI is the most pre‑ordered title in the history of their stores, and Take‑Two CEO Strauss Zelnick says preorders are running far above the company’s expectations.
- Rockstar has confirmed the game targets 30 frames per second on consoles, with PS5 Pro getting PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution upscaling and ray‑traced shadows while no 60 FPS performance mode is offered.
- Community datamining of preload files has revealed references such as 'joinSession' that point to a multiplayer component planned after launch, and Rockstar has not announced a PC release date.
