Is it coming to PC?
Not at launch. Rockstar hasn't announced a PC version or date yet. Their past games came to PC later, but any date you see right now is a guess.
How much does it cost?
Standard Edition is $79.99. Ultimate Edition is $99.99 and adds extra vehicles, weapons and outfits. Physical and digital cost the same.
Is there a disc?
No. The boxed version comes with a download code, not a disc. You'll still need to download the full game.
How much storage space do I need?
Clear up to 212 GB, depending on your console. That's about a third of a launch PS5's drive. Series S (512 GB) owners will likely need to delete other games first.
Can I preload it?
Yes. Digital copies could start preloading on November 10, and code-in-box copies from November 12. Start now so the download is done before midnight on the 19th.
Standard or Ultimate: which should I buy?
The $20 difference only buys extra cosmetics, vehicles and weapons. If you just want the story, Standard is all you need.
Is there a pre-order bonus?
Reports say both editions include a Vintage Vice City Pack with a classic car, garage, outfits and weapon finishes. Check your store page to confirm it's on your order.
Where is the game set, and who do you play as?
The fictional state of Leonida, including Vice City, a modern take on Miami. You play as Lucia and Jason, a criminal duo.
Will GTA Online be there on day one?
Rockstar hasn't announced a date or details for the new online mode. Plan on single-player at launch until they say otherwise.
