PS5 digital pre-loads unlock at midnight local time in every time zone on Tuesday, November 10. Xbox Series X|S starts that same day worldwide at 12 a.m. GMT. Retailers will have code-in-box copies for both consoles from November 12. On launch day the printable poster and map go up as a free download on the official site, and a two-sided printed version follows shortly after in the Rockstar Store for $0.99, or free with any purchase there. Install size varies by device, so clearing as much as 212 GB of space beforehand keeps the pre-load from stalling. Boxed buyers start later than digital ones.
