PS5: check your console’s countdown
For the local PS5 schedule, midnight is the beginning of November 10. Check the countdown on the account holding the digital purchase. If you plan to leave the console overnight, review the automatic download settings and make sure it can receive downloads in Rest Mode.
If the download does not appear
First check the console family and its time rule. Then check that the purchase is visible in the correct account’s library, the console is connected, and storage is available. Rockstar’s FAQ links to each platform’s troubleshooting steps. Completing the download early still leaves the release unlock to wait for.
