Official source receipt
Take-Two and Rockstar Store: pre-load from November 12
Take-Two's pre-order announcement and the Rockstar Store product page both fix digital pre-load for November 12, 2026, with physical code-in-box copies available from the same date.
This page is the Leonida receipt for the source. Read the boundary first, then use the original link for attribution or deeper context.
Leonida read
Keep the click, add the context.
The source matters because it changes the public GTA VI evidence stack. Leonida Intel turns it into a checked receipt so readers can see what is solid, what is only a lead, and which pages should be updated next.
This is the difference between a link roundup and a useful GTA VI intelligence layer. External coverage remains credited, but the reader gets the useful version here first.
What it does not prove
Boundary lane
Neither source publishes an install size, a pre-load clock time or a launch unlock time. Those remain store-listing data until Rockstar states them.

Attribution and citation
Use the original source for the raw material. Leonida Intel keeps this link visible for attribution, but the site records its own receipt so the claim boundary is clear.
