GTA 6 Preload: Start Times, 212 GB, and What to Play While It Downloads
GTA 6 preloads are live: if you pre-ordered a digital copy, you can start the download now, nine days before the November 19 launch. Rockstar says to clear up to 212 GB. At 100 Mbps, the full 212 GB takes about 4 hours 42 minutes.
When the preload opened
| Console | Preload opens |
|---|---|
| PS5 | 12 AM your local time, Tuesday, November 10 (open now) |
| Xbox Series X|S | 12 AM GMT, November 10: that was 7 PM Eastern / 4 PM Pacific on Monday, November 9 (open now) |
It's for digital pre-orders, and Rockstar marked it with a short new trailer. Launch is Thursday, November 19. Haven't signed in to your Rockstar account in years? Rockstar's support site has a returning player page for getting it ready before launch day. Sources: TechRadar, GamesRadar, HotHardware, Insider Gaming.
How long 212 GB takes
At your plan's full speed:
| Internet speed | 212 GB takes about |
|---|---|
| 25 Mbps | 18 h 50 min |
| 50 Mbps | 9 h 25 min |
| 100 Mbps | 4 h 42 min |
| 300 Mbps | 1 h 34 min |
| 500 Mbps | 57 min |
| 1 Gbps | 28 min |
Real speeds usually run below your plan's, and servers may be slow launch week. Starting the night it opens beats waiting for launch day.
