GTA 6 Is Six Weeks Out, and I'm Locked In

I preordered GTA 6 the second preorders opened. Not the “thinking about it” kind of preorder. The second it went live, my PS5 had it locked in. November 19 cannot get here fast enough.

Here's the rundown. Standard is $79.99, Ultimate is $99.99. Preload opens November 12. The physical box just has a code in it, no disc, which still feels wrong. Midnight launch, so 9pm Pacific on the 18th for us.

The Radio Stations

Rockstar dropped the radio stations this week and I have thoughts. Six stations so far, and the hosts are ridiculous in the best way.

Flash FM is back from the old Vice City days, which got me. Nobody does in-game radio like Rockstar. That's just a fact.

My PC is sitting this one out. No PC version at launch, and the cloud streaming loophole got shut down this week too. My 5060 Ti build will get its turn whenever the port shows up. Until then, it's all PS5.

I've already seen a few of the leaked clips, I'll admit it. That's half the reason I preordered so fast, they got me hyped. I'm not doing the spoiler blackout thing. I've seen the map going around too. But some of you haven't, so I've put the most accurate version the community has built blurred below. Your call if you want a peek.

Spoiler warning. The Leonida map is blurred below for the spoiler-free crowd. Reveal it if you want a peek.

Six weeks. Preordered, hyped, and ready. See you in Vice City.
