GTA 6 Launch Checklist
Everything to sort out before November 19: storage, pre-load, your edition and your unlock time.
Before you start
The download is the part that catches people out. It is up to 212 GB, and pre-load has been open since November 10, so there is no reason to wait for launch night.
Work through the list below. Your ticks are saved on this device.
Launch checklist
Tick these off before November 19 so launch night is just pressing play.
- Needed
- Up to 212 GB
Storage settings show what is taking up room. Delete or move games you are not playing.
Install any system update now so it does not hold up the game on launch night.
A wired connection is usually faster and steadier than Wi-Fi for a download this size.
- Standard
- $79.99
- Ultimate
- $99.99
Buying by launch day gets you the Vintage Vice City Pack.
Open since November 10. Leave the console in rest mode and it will finish on its own.
Look at it the day before. A paused or failed download is easier to fix with time to spare.
Boxed Standard copies are a code with no disc, so redeem it early and let it download.
- US stores
- Midnight Eastern, Nov 19
Your console's store page shows the countdown for your region.
The Vintage Vice City Pack: a Vapid Stanier with a garage, outfits, hairstyles and a weapon pattern.
Mute the game's name and the main characters' names on social apps until you have finished the story.
