Launch Kit
Everything you need before November 19: how long the download takes, whether it fits, which edition to buy and how to set it up for the family. Unofficial, and honest about what is not yet confirmed.

Pre-load note
November 12
Digital pre-load usually opens about a week before release, so we are pencilling in November 12. This is our expectation, not an announcement. Check your PlayStation or Xbox store page, and clear space now.

Check your real speed with your provider's app or a speed test. Peak-hour congestion and shared Wi-Fi are often slower than the plan.
Unconfirmed estimate
No official size has been announced. We assume 150 GB as a placeholder. Edit it and everything recalculates.

Time = size ÷ speed × a real-world efficiency of 92% (Ethernet) or 75% (Wi-Fi). Servers are often busiest on launch day, which is why pre-loading beats waiting.

Before they
ask for it.
Games in this series have carried a Mature (M) rating from the ESRB, meaning 17 and up, for violence, language and adult themes. We do not know the final rating for this release, so check the rating on the store page and the ESRB site (esrb.org) before you decide.
01Check the rating
Look at the ESRB rating and content descriptors on the store page. They list exactly what to expect, and PlayStation and Xbox family settings can block games above a child's age limit.
02Set up family controls first
Use PlayStation Family Management or Xbox Family Settings to set age limits, play-time limits and who can buy things. Do it before launch day, not after.
03Lock down spending
Turn on purchase approval or a monthly spending limit. If the game includes online features with in-game currency, treat them like any other purchase.
04Talk about online play
Online lobbies mix strangers of all ages. Review voice and text chat settings, and agree what to do if someone is rude or asks for personal details.
05Watch out for scams
Pre-order and account-trade scams spike around big launches. Buy only from your console's official store or a retailer you know, and never share a password for "free" currency.
