Rockstar opens early downloads for GTA VI nine days before launch
The download may need up to 212 GB of space, and only the PlayStation 5 Pro version will include ray-traced shadows.
Rockstar Games opened early downloads for Grand Theft Auto VI on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on Tuesday, nine days before the game's release, Turkey's state-run news agency Anadolu Agency reported.
Players who bought a digital preorder can begin downloading the game now.
The download may require up to 212 GB of free storage, depending on the console, the company's support site noted.
Rockstar said the game is designed to run at 30 frames per second on current consoles.
The PlayStation 5 Pro version will offer sharper graphics and is the only version that will include ray-traced shadows, the company said.
Owners of Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S will also be able to stream the game through Xbox Cloud Gaming.
The streamed version will use the graphics settings of the Xbox Series S, and Rockstar warned that internet speed can affect performance.
Grand Theft Auto VI is the next entry in Rockstar's open-world franchise, which followed Grand Theft Auto V, released in 2013 and widely regarded as one of the best-selling video games ever made.
The sequel has been closely watched across the gaming industry since it was first announced, and its launch has faced several delays along the way.
