The bonus deadline: order before November 20, 2026
Take-Two says all Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders and purchases before November 20, 2026 include the Vintage Vice City Pack (Take-Two press release (read Nov 2, 2026, 15:27 UTC)). The Rockstar Store page says the same: order before November 20 to get the Vintage Vice City Pack at no additional cost (Rockstar Store GTA VI page (read Nov 2, 2026, 15:27 UTC)).
Physical vs digital: what is different
- The physical version has no disc. Rockstar says physical versions only contain a download code inside the box, and a disc will not be included in the box (Rockstar Store GTA VI page (read Nov 2, 2026, 15:27 UTC)). PlayStation says pre-loading is available to those who have pre-ordered, starting November 10, 2026 at midnight local time (PlayStation GTA VI game page (read Nov 10, 2026)). PlayStation also says players who purchased the code-in-box version can activate their code as soon as they get it to begin pre-loading (PlayStation Blog, Nov 10, 2026: Pre-load Grand Theft Auto VI on PS5 starting today (read Nov 10, 2026)).
- The free month of GTA+ is for digital pre-orders. Take-Two lists a free month of GTA+ for digital pre-orders (Take-Two press release (read Nov 2, 2026, 15:27 UTC)), and the Rockstar Store lists it as a Digital Store Pre-Order Bonus (Rockstar Store GTA VI page (read Nov 2, 2026, 15:27 UTC)).
- Both get the Vintage Vice City Pack if bought before November 20, 2026 (Take-Two press release (read Nov 2, 2026, 15:27 UTC)).
- Same official price. Take-Two lists the game at $79.99 (Take-Two press release (read Nov 2, 2026, 15:27 UTC)); the Rockstar Store lists $79.99 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X (Rockstar Store GTA VI page (read Nov 2, 2026, 15:27 UTC)).
How much storage does GTA 6 need on PS5?
PlayStation says to get ready by clearing a minimum of 212GB of storage space on your PlayStation 5 (PlayStation GTA VI game page (read Nov 10, 2026); PlayStation Blog, Nov 3, 2026: Grand Theft Auto VI pre-download begins November 10 (read Nov 10, 2026)).
Pre-load opened November 10, 2026 at midnight local time for pre-orders (PlayStation GTA VI game page (read Nov 10, 2026); PlayStation Blog, Nov 10, 2026: Pre-load Grand Theft Auto VI on PS5 starting today (read Nov 10, 2026)). The game launches November 19, 2026 on PS5 and PS5 Pro (PlayStation GTA VI game page (read Nov 10, 2026)).
PlayStation lists the PS5 Digital Edition at 825GB, the PS5 console at 1TB, and the PS5 Pro at 2TB of built-in SSD storage. PlayStation also notes that a portion of the SSD is reserved for system software and other functions, so the available SSD capacity may vary (PlayStation PS5 page (read Nov 10, 2026); PlayStation PS5 Pro page (read Nov 10, 2026)).
You can expand a PS5 with an M.2 SSD. PlayStation's requirements are a PCI-Express Gen4x4 M.2 NVMe SSD, 250GB to 8TB, in form factors 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280, or 22110, with a heatsink or heat transfer sheet required. PlayStation recommends a sequential read speed of 5,500MB/s or faster, and M.2 SATA SSDs are not supported. All of a game's data must be stored in the same place. USB extended storage can hold PS5 games, but those games have to be copied back to console storage or an M.2 SSD to be played (PlayStation support: How to add an M.2 SSD to a PS5 console (read Nov 10, 2026)).
