GTA 6 Preload Times, Global Release Times and Install Size Confirmed by Rockstar

Rockstar Games has laid out the practical details players have been waiting for ahead of Grand Theft Auto 6. The publisher confirmed when preloads will open, the release times for players around the world, and how much storage the game will need once installed.

Those three points matter most for anyone planning a launch-day download. Preloading lets players get most of the game onto their hard drive before release day, so the install size and the preload window are the numbers to check against available storage and connection speed. Full figures are in Rockstar's official announcement.

Rockstar also announced physical merchandise tied to the game: a cover art poster and a map of Leonida, the fictional state where the game is set.
