Nov. 10 (UPI) -- Rockstar Games announced on Tuesday that Grand Theft Auto VI can now be pre-loaded onto PlayStation and Xbox consoles for those who have pre-ordered the game.

Players who have pre-ordered Grand Theft Auto VI can download the game onto their PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X.

The highly-anticipated title, which arrives on November 19, will take up a whopping 212 GB of hard drive space.

Players can start the download and install process by finding Grand Theft Auto VI in the PlayStation or Xbox store. Those who pre-ordered the boxed version of Grand Theft Auto VI, which only includes a download code, can begin pre-loading once the code arrives.

Rockstar also detailed how Grand Theft Auto VI will perform on PlayStation and Xbox consoles, stating that the game will run at 30 frames per second across all platforms.

"Grand Theft Auto VI has been fully developed from the ground up to provide the best possible experience for the current generation of consoles, targeting 30 frames per second while pushing both platforms to their absolute limits to bring the vast and rich world of Leonida to life - while maintaining the density and visual fidelity of all its environments and inhabitants," Rockstar said.

Rockstar also noted that the PlayStation 5 Pro version of the game will have improved ray tracing. The game also takes advantage of PlayStation's DualSense controller and will have faster load times on PlayStation consoles.

On the Xbox side, Grand Theft Auto VI will be available through Xbox Cloud Gaming, meaning it can also be accessed on the Xbox One.
