Rockstar Games opened early downloads for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI) on Tuesday, allowing players who preordered digital copies to download the game on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S nine days before its scheduled Nov. 19 release.
According to Rockstar's support site, the game may require up to 212 gigabytes (GB) of available storage, depending on the console.
Rockstar said GTA VI targets 30 frames per second (fps), a measure of how smoothly a game displays moving images, on current-generation consoles.
The PlayStation 5 Pro version will feature sharper graphics and will be the only version to support ray-traced shadows, a rendering technique that simulates how light interacts with objects to produce more realistic shadows.
Players will also be able to stream GTA VI through Xbox Cloud Gaming on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, allowing them to play through an internet connection rather than running the game entirely on their console.
Rockstar said the cloud-streamed version will use Xbox Series S graphics settings, while performance may vary depending on players' internet speeds.
