With its release just nine days away, Grand Theft Auto VI is now available for preloading on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 in most regions around the world. This means that once you pre-order the game, you'll be able to fully install it to your console's drive ahead of the November 19th release. Given GTA 6's huge 212GB file size and reported pre-release sales already around 8 million copies, pre-loading would certainly help you avoid any rush.
