For anyone who has already pre-ordered Grand Theft Auto VI, it's about to take up a huge amount of space on your console's hard drive in the very near future.
That's because it's almost time to preload the most anticipated game of the year. If you don't normally engage with games this way, it means that anyone who has purchased GTA 6 will be able to install the full game on their hard drive before release. According to Rockstar, preloading will work slightly differently on PS5 and Xbox consoles. For PS5 owners, preloading will begin on Tuesday, Nov. 10 at midnight local time wherever you are. For Xbox players, preloading starts at 12 a.m. GMT on Tuesday and runs simultaneously for everyone.
To be clear, preloading the game early does not mean you can play it early, unless you set your console to New Zealand time. It will be locked and unplayable until it's officially out in your region.
Rockstar also confirmed in that post that the game will take up to 212GB of space on your hard drive, so start deleting games right now if you need to.
