Common questions

How big is the GTA 6 download?
Reports of Rockstar's announcement say up to 212 GB, with the exact size depending on your console. This calculator uses 212 GB.
When does GTA 6 pre-load start?
Reports say November 10, 2026, at midnight local time on PS5 and midnight GMT on Xbox.
How accurate is this?
It assumes you get 80 percent of your speed, which is a rough estimate. Busy servers and Wi-Fi can make it slower, so leave extra time.
Can boxed copies pre-load?
Reports say boxed copies contain a download code rather than a disc, so you still need to download the game.
