“GTA 6 Breaks PlayStation and Xbox Store Pre-Order Records​

GTA 6 is now the most pre-ordered game ever on both the PlayStation Store and the Microsoft Store, according to Sony and Microsoft. Sony announced the record in a PlayStation Blog post that opened PS5 pre-loading nine days before the November 19 launch, pointing to "unprecedented demand" for the early start. Xbox then called it "the most pre-ordered title of all time on the Microsoft Store" while confirming that GTA 6 will stream to Xbox Onethrough Cloud Gaming. Neither company shared actual numbers, however.

Sensor Tower's tracker fills some of that gap. As of November 10, the firm estimates 9.69 million pre-orders worth about $942 million net of returns, up from 7.71 million a week earlier and 6.45 million in late October. PlayStation holds roughly 75% of that with 7.23 million copies and $703 million, while Xbox sits at 2.46 million copies and $239 million. That averages out to around $97 per copy, which fits with most buyers going for the $100 Ultimate Edition. If accurate, GTA 6 has passed the 8 million pre-orders CD Projekt reported for Cyberpunk 2077 in 2020. The comparison isn't quite like-for-like, though, since Cyberpunk also launched on PC and likely counted physical copies, while Sensor Tower seems to track digital console orders only.“

Lank 42 minutes ago		2
Ancient Slashdot reader Lank writes: GTA VI is now available for preloading. The download weighs in at a whopping 210+ gigabytes on the PS5! Start downloading now and remember to take Nov. 19th off from work. "On Xbox, preloads for digital versions went live at 12 a.m. GMT on November 10 for Series X and Series S, which translates to 7 p.m. EST / 6 p.m. CST / 5 p.m. MST / 4 p.m. PT on Monday, November 9," notes PCMag. "For PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro owners, preloading started on Tuesday, November 10 at midnight local time."

"If you ordered a physical copy of GTA 6, games will begin arriving at retailers and shipping to buyers on November 12. You can use the code in your box to preload your copy of the game."”
 
I've taken plenty of days off for games over the years, but I don't necessarily feel compelled to do that for this one. Thanksgiving/Black Friday are right around the corner, so if it's compelling I'll have time to play.

Some soldiers at Fort Stewart, Ga., are having an unusual reenlistment perk dangled in front of them: four days off work to play one of the most anticipated video games in years.
Lt. Col. Ryan Hodgson, commander of the 9th Brigade Engineer Battalion, part of the 3rd Infantry Division, is offering soldiers who reenlist between Aug. 1 and Nov. 14, 2026, a special four-day pass timed specifically to coincide with the Nov. 19 release of Grand Theft Auto VI, according to an internal memo reviewed by ABC News, first published by "U.S Army W.T.F! moments," a large online community of service members and veterans.”

Pretty wild to see how much video games have changed the way of life. With this one being the biggest . Not to be off topic, but still blows my mind people make a living streaming themselves play while the rest of us may have blue collar jobs to contribute to our society.

Hope u guys enjoy it. As I do have a ps5 non pro that i hardly touch , I'm on the fence about it (much rather play on my rtx5080 but no telling when that will happen ). Even tho I have no problem buying a switch2 game (as recently as the Zelda OOT remake last week ) .
 

“Grand Theft Auto VI for Xbox Packs FSR 4.1.2, But Not Enabled at Launch​

by AleksandarK Today, 13:38 Discuss (0 Comments)
Grand Theft Auto VI is reportedly incorporating AMD's FSR Upscaling 4.1.2 technology on Xbox consoles, according to preload game files. Both amd_fidelityfx_loader_xbox.dll and amd_fidelityfx_upscaler_xbox.dll are present in the Xbox version of GTA VI, indicating that the game will eventually support FSR 4.1.2 technology, although it hasn't been advertised at launch. Interestingly, only Sony's PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) is supported at launch, and it requires a PlayStation 5 Pro console to enable, which is not available on the regular PlayStation 5.

As a reminder, last week, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles finally received machine learning-based upscaling technology with the latest FSR Upscaling 4.1.2. Microsoft's Game Development Kit (GDK) now officially includes FSR Upscaling 4.1.2 in two models. One is the full-scale upscaling model based on the INT8 data type, and the other is a new and efficient Lite INT8 model. Both models are compatible with both consoles, but the key point is that game developers have the flexibility to choose which model to implement. Depending on the demands of a game, the appropriate model can be applied to achieve optimal upscaling performance.“
