Rockstar flags GTA 6 preload with a new 30-second trailer
Updated
Rockstar Games España posted a 30-second video with new footage and says GTA 6 preload is live for digital pre-orders on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
GTA 6 preload is now live on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, so you can start downloading before November 19 if you pre-ordered digitally. Rockstar Games España announced it in a 30-second trailer posted on November 10, and Rockstar confirms it.
Rockstar has spent weeks showing the game with long videos, like the launch trailer of October 15, which runs 1:30. What was missing was a short nudge for people who had already reserved GTA 6 and wanted to know when they could download it. That nudge arrives with footage that is new, according to Diario AS.
When can you start the GTA 6 preload?
You can now, if you pre-ordered the digital version.
You can now, if you pre-ordered the digital version. Rockstar Games España says so in the video «Grand Theft Auto VI: precarga ya», which it uploaded to its YouTube channel on November 10, 2026.
Preload is available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, according to Diario AS. If you reserved the boxed edition with a download code, you can redeem it and preload as soon as you get it. Rockstar keeps November 19 as the launch date.

Diario AS describes scenes that weren't in earlier trailers: Lucia and Jason in a nightclub, a police raid and street races. They take place in Vice City and other parts of Leonida.
For perspective, 30 seconds is a third of the launch trailer's 1:30. Rockstar fits three settings into a video whose main job is to remind you that you can download now.
«Blood In Your Eyes» by Tove Lo
The song is «Blood In Your Eyes» by Swedish artist Tove Lo, according to AS.
The song is «Blood In Your Eyes» by Swedish artist Tove Lo, according to AS. It's part of GTA VI: The Album, the soundtrack Rockstar announced on September 17 with 34 tracks, out the same day as the game.
AS lists Travis Scott, Rauw Alejandro and CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso among the album's contributors. The launch trailer used «Flower in a Hurricane», the Justice single with Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.
Boxed copies need the code
Rockstar Games España sums it up in the message that goes with the trailer, as quoted by Diario AS.

Preload is now available to everyone who made a digital pre-order of Grand Theft Auto VI.
Original quote“La precarga ya está disponible para todos los que realizaran la reserva digital de Grand Theft Auto VI.”
The dates don't quite match. Rockstar's pre-order Newswire put preload and the sale of the boxed code edition on November 12 at 00:00 local time, while AS says it was available from November 10. Rockstar hasn't explained the gap.
