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.
