Grand Theft Auto VI launches next week on Thursday, November 19. You can preload the game on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S starting today, as detailed by Rockstar Games, PlayStation, and Xbox. Alongside this announcement, both PlayStation and Xbox have revealed that – surprise! – GTA VI is the most preordered game in the history of their respective digital stores. 

That's not shocking – GTA VI is, by many metrics, the most anticipated game in history, with its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto V, selling nearly 235 million copies since its launch back in 2013. There's also the fact that Rockstar Games is not releasing a physical edition of GTA VI, per se. Yes, you can go to a store to pick up a GTA VI box (and you can do so today, allowing you to preload the game), but inside that box will be a download code for a digital version of the game – you won't find GTA VI on a physical disc. So, naturally, many players are opting to purchase the game on digital storefronts like the PlayStation and Xbox game stores. 

"Grand Theft Auto VI, the most preordered title of all time on the Microsoft Store, launches November 19," an Xbox blog post reads. " PlayStation echoes this statement with a blog post of its own that reads, "Grand Theft Auto VI is now the most preordered game in the history of the PlayStation Store.
