Tricks
Do these before launch
Pre-launch
Pre-load the moment it opens
Fan sites report pre-loading around November 12. Rockstar has not confirmed it, but every recent Rockstar launch allowed about a week. Clear space early: budget 150 GB or more on the console SSD, since the exact install size is unannounced.
Hardware
Put it on the internal SSD, not USB
PS5 and Series X|S games must run from the internal drive or an expansion card. A USB HDD can only store the install. If you are at capacity, a PS5 M.2 or a Series X expansion card is the prep buy that matters most.
Pre-launch
Set your console region and time zone now
Digital unlocks usually roll by region at local midnight. Check your account region so you are not the person waiting an extra six hours because of a store mismatch.
