GTA VI Is Finally Here: Everything You Need Before You Press Start
Welcome to episode twenty one of Respawn Games Daily, and the opening of our Grand Theft Auto Six launch season! Launch week is here: the game arrives Thursday, November nineteenth, natively on PlayStation Five and Xbox Series X and Series S only, and this spoiler free primer gives you everything you need before you press start. John, Tyler and Ryan lay out the hard facts box (the two delays that got us here, no computer date announced, no version for the older consoles, a single player story at launch with no online launch date announced, no Game Pass inclusion and no paid early access), the editions decision (Standard is the complete game at seventy nine dollars and ninety nine cents; Ultimate at ninety nine dollars and ninety nine cents adds extras, with an upgrade path described; pre orders include the Vintage Vice City Pack; the physical box holds a download code, not a disc), and the download boss fight (pre loading open since November tenth, up to two hundred and twelve gigabytes, with our two hundred and fifty gigabyte free space advice, rest mode and update steps). Then the spoiler free story setup: Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, an easy score gone wrong and a conspiracy across Leonida, plus the officially profiled supporting cast (Brian Heder, Cal Hampton, Boobie Ike, Dre'Quan Priest, Real Dimez and Raul Bautista) and an orientation tour of the six official regions (Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park). It all lands in a ten step before you press start checklist covering storage, settings, account security, spoiler defense and your first session plan, with next episode's full Leonida tour teased at the end.
