Your launch ritual: Status-tab hawk
One eye on the status page. You know big launches can make stores, downloads and sign-in busy, so you keep the status page open in a tab all night.
Your ritual, step by step
- Keep the live status open: it reads the official PlayStation, Xbox and Rockstar status pages every five minutes.
- Bookmark the error codes for anything that pops up.
- Report problems with the "Report a problem" button so others can see them.

What every ritual needs
Whatever the ritual, the groundwork in our launch checklist is the same, and the countdown shows the time left. Before 12 November, install system updates and free up generous storage; the download size has not been announced. Pre-load from 12 November, and redeem the code first if you bought a box, since boxed copies hold a download code rather than a disc. Make the console your main PS5 or Home Xbox, and keep it signed in with the account that bought the game.
