The list follows the calendar: first what to do before the pre-load opens on 10 November, then the pre-load itself, the final week, and launch day. Your ticks stay on this device, with no account. Links open the tool that does the job.
What should I do before the GTA 6 pre-load?
Three things matter most: free up to 212 GB, turn on automatic downloads, and let the console stay online in rest mode. According to the press, automatic downloads have to be on for the pre-load to start by itself.
What if I bought the box?
The box holds a download code, not a disc, with estimated shipping on 12 November. Redeem the code as soon as you get it: the download can then start, and you will still need the full space.
What about launch day?
Rockstar says midnight, local time, in every region: the release time page gives you your countdown. Check for an update before you start, and turn off the notifications that could spoil the story for you.
