So there are two ways to preload GTA 6 on Xbox Series X|S depending on whether you have it or haven’t purchased it yet. If you pre-ordered the game, the payment should now have been removed from your account and you will be able to pre-load it by going to the Microsoft Store app on your Xbox console and searching for Grand Theft Auto VI.
The page you’re looking for is the one in the image at the top of this article, although instead of a “pre-order” button you should see the option to install the game if you’ve already purchased it. This will install a 300MB placeholder file until midnight GMT on November 10, after which the full 200GB download will be available as an update.
If you’re having trouble with this, it’s worth restarting your console once the full preload goes live.
“On XBOX Series
If you haven’t yet purchased GTA 6 but still want to preload it on Xbox Series You are specifically looking for “Grand Theft Auto VI” – not the Bundle version, but the standalone version.
In our case, it appears as the fourth option down – you should see a variation of the following page when you open it:
Again, hitting the install button before midnight GMT on November 10 will install a small placeholder file, then the full 200GB+ download will be available when the full game preload goes live.
This means that everyone (except Xbox One owners, of course) has the option to download GTA 6 to their Xbox console later today, so make sure to free up some space in advance – it’s going to take up a huge amount of storage space!
