GTA 6 Pre-Load and File Size
Pre-load opened on November 10. You need up to 212 GB free, so check your storage before launch night.
Pre-load is open
Pre-load started on November 10, 2026, two days earlier than first planned. If you bought the game digitally you can download it now.
- PS5: opened at midnight local time.
- Xbox Series X|S: opened at 12 a.m. GMT everywhere.
File size
The pre-load needs up to 212 GB of free space, depending on your console. Rockstar has not given a final installed size.
That is a large share of any console drive, and close to half of a 512 GB Xbox Series S. Most people will need to delete something first.
Boxed copies
The boxed Standard Edition is a download code in a case. There is no disc, so you still need the full download and the same free space.
