In a little over a week, Grand Theft Auto VI will be formally handed off to fans who have spent more than a decade holding out hope. Needless to say, this makes GTA VI arguably the most hotly anticipated title in video game history, which explains why even a mere 30-second teaser is considered a major development on the news front.
Tuesday (Nov. 10), Rockstar Games let the world know that pre-loading for their surefire blockbuster was now available for fans who placed their orders digitally. For anyone who opted for the code-in-a-box version instead, you can activate said code and kick off the pre-loading process too once received.
To commemorate this news, Rockstar shared a brief but headlineable 30-second teaser video soundtracked by Tove Lo’s “Blood in Your Eyes,” another new song set to appear on the imminent Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album collection. Travis Scott, Cardi B, and more previously rolled out their own GTA VI tracks. Later this month, a number of artists, La Flame and Cardi among them, will take the stage at Mana Wynwood in Miami for a full-scale GTA VI-themed music festival.
Given the overwhelming nature of the hype surrounding GTA VI’s Nov. 19 drop date, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to put together a checklist, of sorts, to ensure that you’re prepared. From details on last-minute pre-order options, to pondering whether calling out of work should be on the agenda, we’ve got you.
