• One free month of GTA+ with digital pre-orders. It covers GTA Online perks and the GTA+ Games Library, which includes GTA V and other Rockstar classics. On the German PlayStation Store the month must be claimed by March 31, 2027, after which the membership renews at the regular price unless it is cancelled.

Pre-load and the boxed version

When the pre-orders were announced in June, Rockstar named November 12, 2026 as the pre-load start; November 10 applies now (see the update above). The physical version contains a download code and still goes on sale on November 12 so that boxed buyers can pre-load as well.

When the pre-orders were announced, Rockstar gave no unlock time. Since November 3, Rockstar Support states midnight local time on November 19 in all regions. The German PlayStation Store listed November 18, 2026 at 11 p.m. UTC, which is midnight on November 19 in Central Europe.
