Rockstar announced no early access, but unlocks follow store region rules. What the region switch can and cannot do on Xbox and PS5, labeled untested, with the scam warnings attached.
Read the honest answer →Our interactive map starts from a fan estimate, labeled that way everywhere it appears: the base below was reconstructed by the community from official trailers and screenshots, and it is not the final in-game map.

Preload is live now. On PS5 it opened at midnight local time on Tuesday, November 10, 2026. On Xbox it opened at midnight GMT on November 10, which was 6 PM Central on Monday, November 9. The download can reach 212 GB, so start it early. Step-by-step help is in the Preload Guide.
