Spectrum customers can get a free internet upgrade this month to download GTA 6 faster.
The company announced earlier this week that it would be a free “Gig Speed Lift” from November 9 to November 30 for existing customers. This will allow players the opportunity to download the game within 30 minutes. So, if you’re planning on buying the game on day one or later in November, this will be a huge time saver. Or, if you just want to watch your pre-load complete incredibly quickly, this is also an option. You can click here to learn more about how to activate this offer if you’re a Spectrum user.
Pre-loading for GTA 6 begins on November 10, and it will be an absolute beast of a game when it comes to download size. Rockstar has confirmed that the game is 212 GBs, which is nearly a quarter the size of the average PS5 (not counting the required space for the OS and other mandatory elements on the console). Given that fans are anticipating a pretty massive open-world with lots to see and do, the size makes sense. As a result, fans will want to take full advantage of the nine-day pre-load window or hop on this Spectrum deal so they can play as soon as possible.
We’re officially just two weeks away from the GTA 6’s launch. Rockstar released 39 new screenshots from the game earlier today, showing off Vice City, Jason and Lucia in action, and a whole bunch of crime. The screenshots also revealed that rapper Kodak Black would be in the game as an NPC, which has fueled speculation that other musical artists would be in the game. The likes of Dr Dre, Phil Collins, and others have all been prominently featured in-game in other GTA titles, so it’s not a stretch to imagine some celebrities in a modern-day Vice City.
It’s unclear what else Rockstar has up its sleeve as we get closer to launch, as it released what appears to be the final trailer back in October. Some fans are expecting to hear about PS5 Pro upgrades prior to release, but beyond that, we appear to be at the end of this long marketing road.
