Last updated: 2026-11-09 · By GTA6Cheat

If you pre-ordered digitally, you can download GTA 6 from November 10 and play the moment it unlocks on November 19.

Preload on PS5

1. Go to Game Library › Purchased and find GTA VI.
2. Select Download; if auto-download was on at pre-order, it starts by itself.
3. Leave the console in rest mode with Settings › System › Power Saving › Features Available in Rest Mode › 'Stay Connected to the Internet' on.

Preload on Xbox

1. Open My Games & Apps › Full Library › Owned games and select GTA VI.
2. Choose Install.
3. Use the Sleep power mode so downloads continue overnight.

From your phone

• PS5: open the game in the PlayStation App and choose 'Download to Your Console'.
• Xbox: select the game in the Xbox app and choose 'Install to console'.
• Your console must be in rest/sleep mode and online.

Does preloading unlock it early?

No. The download finishes early, but the game opens at midnight on November 19. See what time GTA 6 unlocks.
