  • Xbox Series X|S: pre-load starts globally on Tuesday 10 November at 12am GMT (that's midnight UK time).
  • Download size: up to 212 GB depending on your console, so start clearing space now.
  • Code-in-box (physical) copies: should be at retailers from 12 November.
  • Free poster: on 19 November Rockstar will add a printable GTA VI cover art poster and Leonida map as a free download on the official site. A double-sided physical version is coming to the Rockstar Store shortly after launch for $0.99, or free with any Rockstar Store order.

This is the one to set an alarm for. For anyone in the UK that's midnight on Tuesday the 10th for both consoles, and 212 GB is not a quick job on an average connection. I'm starting mine overnight rather than after work, otherwise I'll still be watching a progress bar at 3am.
