What was announced

• PS5 pre-load: Tuesday, November 10, at midnight local time.
• Xbox Series X|S pre-load: November 10 at 12:00 AM GMT, globally.
• Code-in-box editions at retailers from November 12.

Our pre-load guide converts every time to your time zone.

Free poster and map of Leonida

On November 19, Rockstar will add an official printable cover-art poster and map of Leonida as a free download on the official site. Shortly after launch, a double-sided physical version goes on sale at the Rockstar Store for $0.99 — or free with any Rockstar Store purchase.

With no disc, no case insert and no manual, this is the paper map fans have been asking for.

New downtown screenshot

Alongside the post came a new shot of downtown Vice City across the bay: three helicopters in the air, a tower still under construction, traffic backed up from the beach, marinas crammed with boats, a bayside restaurant with volleyball courts, and a boat moored inside a swim lounge. Billboards remain legible far into the distance.
