Countdown has begun for GTA 6: Available for download

The countdown has begun for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6), which the gaming world has been eagerly awaiting. US-based game developer Rockstar Games announced that the game, which will be released on November 19, will be available for pre-download as of Tuesday, November 10.

Users who pre-order the game developed for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles will be able to download it to their devices before the release date. However, it will be necessary to wait until November 19 to play the game.

IT WILL TAKE FULL 212 GB OF SPACE

According to Rockstar Games' statement, pre-downloading GTA 6 will require up to 212 GB of storage space, depending on the console used.

This size makes the game one of the most comprehensive productions in the industry in terms of storage space.

It is stated that the download process may take from about an hour to several hours, depending on the speed of the internet connection.

Rockstar Games' decision to make the game available for download nine days before its release aims to prevent technical problems that may arise from millions of players loading onto the servers at the same time.

PlayStation 5 users will be able to pre-download starting at midnight on November 10th, local time. For Xbox Series X/S users, pre-download will start simultaneously worldwide.

8 MILLION PRE-ORDER CLAIM

Shortly before the release of GTA 6, pre-order numbers are also noteworthy.

According to data from market analysis company Sensor Tower, the game received nearly 8 million pre-orders approximately two weeks before its release.

Industry experts estimate that GTA 6 could be the entertainment industry's biggest product launch ever in terms of revenue.

HOW MUCH IS THE PRICE OF GTA 6?

The standard version of GTA 6 in Europe is available for sale at 79.99 euros.

The price of the Ultimate Edition version, which includes new vehicles, weapons and various in-game advantages, is set at 99.99 euros.

Users who prefer the physical boxed version of the game will be able to pick up their products from stores starting from November 12.

However, there will be no game disc in the box of the physical version. Instead, there will be a code that allows the game to be downloaded digitally.

THE 13-YEAR WAIT IS COMING TO AN END

GTA 6 will meet players 13 years after the release of the previous main game of the series, Grand Theft Auto V.

The Grand Theft Auto series, which was first published in 1997, has sold more than 475 million copies worldwide to date.

GTA 5, the fifth game of the series, released in 2013, has sold more than 230 million copies, according to the data of the publishing company Take-Two Interactive.

GTA 6, which will be released after GTA 5, which is considered one of the most successful productions in the gaming world, is expected to break new records in terms of sales and revenue.

The new game will take place in Vice City, located in the fictional state of Leonida. At the center of the story there will be two characters named Jason and Lucia.
