The wait is finally over for gamers in New Zealand (or those pretending to be) as GTA 6 preloads have officially gone live! With adrenaline pumping, fans are diving headfirst into the game files, hoping to uncover hidden gems ahead of the official launch. While the encrypted data only reveals so much, one intriguing discovery is the staggering size of GTA 6's audio file alone - a whopping 22GB! Elsewhere in the gaming community, a Rockstar enthusiast has speculated that story content and the anticipated next version of GTA Online might be installable separately based on the separation of files. This theory is further bolstered by an account reporting "intentType": "launchMultiplayerActivity," seemingly hinting at Online's eventual appearance in GTA 6. Rockstar has remained tight-lipped about the existence of GTA Online for GTA 6, but given the enduring success of GTA 5's online portion, it's safe to assume we'll see it in action someday. An intriguing find is the absence of a file named "core_restofworld001" from the Australia & New Zealand version of GTA 6, possibly suggesting cut content in those regions. Another exciting revelation is that BVH8 will be supported in GTA 6, which could significantly enhance ray tracing capabilities on PS5 Pro - just like Ubisoft did for Assassin’s Creed Shadow's PS5 Pro support. Unfortunately, details about PS5 Pro support are scarce, with only Sony confirming "PS5 Pro Enhanced Support" for GTA 6. Resolution and frame rate details for GTA 6 across all platforms remain a mystery, with experts suggesting it's unlikely the game will go beyond 30fps due to its ray tracing and physics simulations. While we eagerly await the official launch on November 19, there's still a chance you might snag some exclusive GTA 6 merch from Selfridges - but it's selling out fast! For all the latest updates on GTA 6 preload global release times and physical poster details, stay tuned to IGN News. Kirk McKeand, Contributor at IGN News, can be found on Twitter @MckKirk.
