The wait for the next Vice City installment is almost over. After several delays, Grand Theft Auto VI is finally set to launch on November 19, and players are dissecting every detail to be ready on day one.
Preparing for launch day means deciding which version is best for you. The Standard Edition costs $80, while the Ultimate Edition costs $100 for players who want maximum content. From console requirements to pre-order benefits, here are five essential things you need to know before Grand Theft Auto VI releases.
- Grand Theft Auto VI will launch exclusively on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S. Older consoles like PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are not supported. PC gamers will also have to wait, as no PC version will be available at launch.
- Reports suggest that the game could take up around 210 GB of storage space. Although the final installation size may vary between platforms, the best solution is to remove old games quickly.
- Digital copies and pre-loads are currently available on the PlayStation Store for PS5 and the Microsoft Store for Xbox Series X/S. You can also purchase directly from the Rockstar Games Store. If you prefer physical retail, you can grab a copy at GameStop, Best Buy, Amazon, and Walmart.
- Pre-ordering either edition unlocks the Vintage Vice City Pack, which includes exclusive outfits, hairstyles, a vehicle with its own garage, and a unique weapon model. Digital pre-orders also come with a free month of GTA+ for additional in-game perks. Players looking for more can grab the Ultimate Edition for $100. It includes exclusive vehicles, custom mod shops, and access to places like Sara’s Unisex Salon and Stock 305 clothing store.
- Music is still an integral part of the Vice City experience. The game’s soundtrack features six radio stations, including Flash FM for pop, Dirty South Classics for hip-hop, and Afro Bank FM for Amapiano and Afrobeats.
