How to preload GTA 6 in its entirety on Xbox Series X|S (even if you haven’t purchased it)

So there are two ways to preload GTA 6 on Xbox Series X|S depending on whether you have it or haven’t purchased it yet. If you pre-ordered the game, the payment should now have been removed from your account and you will be able to pre-load it by going to the Microsoft Store app on your Xbox console and searching for Grand Theft Auto VI.

The page you’re looking for is the one in the image at the top of this article, although instead of a “pre-order” button you should see the option to install the game if you’ve already purchased it. This will install a 300MB placeholder file until midnight GMT on November 10, after which the full 200GB download will be available as an update.

If you’re having trouble with this, it’s worth restarting your console once the full preload goes live.
