Launch Extras

On November 19, Rockstar will add an official printable Grand Theft Auto VI cover art poster and map of Leonida as a free digital download to the official site. A double-sided physical version of the poster will also be available shortly after launch from the Rockstar Store for $0.99 on its own or as a free gift with any purchase from the Rockstar Store.

Why it matters

The November 10 pre-load date gives players roughly nine days to download the game before its November 19 release. With a file size of up to 212 GB, the storage requirement is one of the largest for a console game, meaning players may need to clear space on their consoles ahead of time.
