Launch readiness0/0 complete
Phase 1 — This Month
Cheap, easy wins that future-you will be grateful for.
✓
Decide your platform — PS5 or Xbox Series X. Locked in? Our
full comparison settles it.
✓
Check your storage — expect a 150GB+ install. Clear space or grab an SSD now, not launch night.
✓
Test your internet — day-one patch will be huge. If your download speed is rough, plan to preload (see Phase 2).
✓
Gear check — controller drift? Headset dying? Fix it while there’s time. Our
setup picks are ranked.
Phase 2 — When Pre-Orders Open
Expected alongside Trailer 3. Move fast — launch editions sell out.
✓
Pre-order digitally for preloading — no midnight store runs, no disc install wait.
✓
Compare editions before paying up — check what the deluxe tiers actually include (we’ll publish a breakdown the day they’re announced).
✓
Preload the moment it’s available — usually ~48 hours before launch.
✓
Book launch week off — or at least Nov 19–20. You know you want to.
Phase 3 — The First 24 Hours (Money Route)
The exact order that builds your bankroll fastest, from our guides. Updated with real data within 48h of launch.
✓
Hours 0–3: push the story — campaign missions and early heists front-load the biggest guaranteed cash. Don’t wander yet.
✓
Bank your first ~$100K before splurging — capital unlocks businesses, and businesses out-earn shopping sprees.
✓
Learn the robbery loop — leaks point to 700+ robbable shops with cooldown timers. Steady income between missions.
✓
Scout, don’t buy, property on day one — prices and income rates need community verification first. Our
buy-order guide gets updated fast.
✓
Check the updated rankings — we re-run every method with real numbers within 48 hours and email what’s actually best.
