Pre-load FAQ
How big is GTA 6?
Up to about 212 GB of free space, depending on your console. Leave a little extra room for the day-one patch.
When did GTA 6 pre-load start?
10 November 2026: midnight local time on PS5 and midnight GMT on Xbox.
Can I pre-load on an external drive?
Series X|S games must run from internal storage or an official Expansion Card. PS5 games can be stored on USB drives but must be played from internal or M.2 storage.
Why is my pre-load stuck?
Restart the console, check you have enough free space (not just the download size), and check PSN/Xbox status. On PS5, put the console in Rest Mode with “Stay connected to the internet” on.
