Consolidating everything from a year of these threads into one post so nobody has to search. Before November 12: decide your edition, preorder if you want the V...

Getting a lot of the same questions so here is the state of it. Confirmed: preload opens November 12. Physical copies ship from the 12th as well, and they are a...

Genuine question and possibly my last practical thread. Editions decided. Preorders placed. Storage cleared. Preload date known. Launch day understood. Time boo...

Trying to write the shortest possible version of this because the long versions put people off. 1. Decide Standard or Ultimate. You can upgrade later, so Standa...

For the newcomers group and for anyone outside the US. The headline figures are 79.99 and 99.99 in dollars. Regional pricing on the console stores usually diver...

Last practical thread from me before the final stretch. The 18th is the day before. Preload is done, storage is sorted, nothing left to organise. What have peop...

For anyone who has not been through one of these, here is the realistic shape of November 19. If you preloaded on the 12th, the game is already on your console...

Three months out and this is the boring advice nobody takes until the week of launch. If you are on a console with the base internal drive you are going to need...

Genuine question for the group rather than advice from me, because I have opinions and no way to know if they are right for someone new. My instinct is: do the...

Rockstar's site says the game plays best on PS5 and lists the Pro alongside the base console. That is the extent of what exists. No resolution target, no frame...

Nothing announced. For a game this size the embargo date is usually communicated to outlets weeks ahead and leaks into public knowledge shortly after. Historica...

Boring but real. Someone asked me this and I did not have a confident answer. The game needs a licence check at first launch even for single player. If your con...

Asked in a comment weeks ago and never got a straight answer, so putting it in its own thread. Digital preorders through the console stores include a month of G...

Putting this in one place because I keep answering it in comments. Standard, 79.99. Full campaign, nothing else. Ultimate, 99.99. Adds a set of vehicles, weapon...

Odd question. My partner does not play games and has absorbed a certain amount of this by proximity over three years, mostly against her will. She has said she...

Getting this asked a lot now so putting it somewhere findable. On PlayStation you can add an internal drive of the correct type, or use external storage for arc...

Genuinely curious about the scale of it rather than making a point. This is the first major release in years where the install base question actually matters, b...

Comes up every launch and the answer is genuinely confusing. Some releases unlock at local midnight everywhere, so the first people playing are in the earliest...

Practical and it matters for a lot of people buying this for a household. The rating boards publish descriptors alongside the rating and those are usually more...

Asking on behalf of about four people who have messaged me the same question. My understanding is that the mainline games share a universe, some brands, and occ...
