How to pre-load GTA 6 on PS5 and Xbox so it's ready at midnight
Three settings to change now so the download starts while you sleep.
PS5
- Settings → System → Power Saving → Features Available in Rest Mode → turn on Stay Connected to the Internet.
- Settings → Saved Data and Game/App Settings → Automatic Updates → turn on Auto-Download and Auto-Install in Rest Mode.
- From 10 November, open GTA VI in your Game Library and choose Download if it hasn't started.
Xbox Series X|S
- Settings → General → Power options → choose Sleep.
- Settings → System → Updates → turn on Keep my games & apps up to date.
- From 10 November (00:00 GMT), check My games & apps → Manage → Queue.
Update your console's system software a day or two early, rather than on launch night when servers are busiest.
