Grand Theft Auto VI players better clean up their SSDs, because that 200+ GB pre-load is now available for all! Oh, and to celebrate, Rockstar Games also dropped off a little pre-load trailer and some other bits of info regarding the game itself.

The PS5 Pro is obviously the most capable hardware to run the game on and will feature PSSR and ray-traced shadows, and all platforms are targeting 30fps. Those who utilize the Xbox Cloud Gaming version will get Xbox Series S graphics settings, which is an interesting tidbit for those who do plan to play the game that way.

The PS5 version also takes full advantage of the DualSense high-fidelity haptic feedback and other niceties in terms of Tempest 3D Audio processing and whatnot.

See the new pre-load trailer below featuring “Blood in Your Eyes” by Tove Lo from Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album.

Pre-order Grand Theft Auto VI right here to get that code to start up that pre-load right now!

Grand Theft Auto VI: Pre-Load Now

Pre-loading is now available for everyone who has pre-ordered Grand Theft Auto VI digitally. Players who pre-ordered the code-in-box version can also activate their code and begin pre-loading as soon as it’s received.

Grand Theft Auto VI has been fully developed from the ground up to provide the best possible experience for the current generation of consoles, targeting 30 frames per second while pushing both platforms to their absolute limits to bring the vast and rich world of Leonida to life — while maintaining the density and visual fidelity of all its environments and inhabitants.

The PlayStation 5 Pro offers breathtaking visuals, with improved clarity through PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) and ray-traced shadows only available on PlayStation 5 Pro.

Grand Theft Auto VI for PS5 includes high-fidelity haptic feedback fully integrated across the game on DualSense controllers and adjustable via accessibility settings, improved spatial audio rendering so all in-game sounds take full advantage of Tempest 3D Audio, and improved load times, making Grand Theft Auto VI play best on PlayStation 5 consoles.

The game will also be available via XBOX Cloud Gaming on XBOX Series X|S and XBOX One consoles, utilizing XBOX Series S graphics settings. And as with all cloud streaming, connection speeds and other technical factors may influence game performance in ways that would not impact local gameplay. GTAVI will also fully support Remote Play on PlayStation and XBOX.
