You can download GTA VI now so it's ready at midnight on November 19. Sony and Microsoft both call it the most pre-ordered game in their store's history.

  • Digital pre-load opened on November 10; boxed copies include a download code
  • The game unlocks at midnight local time on November 19, country by country
  • PS5 Pro gets extra upscaling and ray-traced shadows
  • Xbox One owners can only play through Xbox Cloud Gaming

You can already put the game on your console. It just stays locked until the night it comes out.
