We’re just over a week away from the GTA 6 release date, and both Xbox and PlayStation have now highlighted the significance of the game’s launch. Fans have been able to pre-order the latest Grand Theft Auto entry since June 25, and pre-loads for the digital version of the game went live today; giving players heaps of time makes sense given the game’s massive 210 GB file size.
“Grand Theft Auto VI is now the most pre-ordered game in the history of the PlayStation Store,” says Sony in a blog post earlier today. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has also highlighted GTA 6’s record-breaking numbers, alongside the company’s 10-year partnership with publisher Take-Two Interactive. GTA 6 is “the most pre-ordered game ever on Microsoft Store,” she says.
You can now pre-load GTA 6 on your Xbox or PlayStation
November 19 is the day Grand Theft Auto VI launches on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. As leaked last week, PSSR upscaling and ray-tracing will be available on the PlayStation 5 Pro. This has now been confirmed, as per Sony’s blog post, noting that “PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) and ray-traced shadows” will be available in GTA 6 on the flagship Sony console.

Unlike the two powerhouse consoles, GTA 6 won’t be launching on PC on November 19, and we still don’t have an official release date for the port. Early 2027 is the current prediction, which would be a fast-track compared to previous entries. In any case, we can probably expect to see similar record-high pre-orders once the title graces the likes of the Steam store.
