You can now stream to the GTA VI category on Twitch

Twitch opened the Grand Theft Auto VI category on November 10. Here's where to find it, and what to sort out before launch night.

Twitch told its partners it would switch on the Grand Theft Auto VI category on November 10. It's live. We checked today, and you can pick it in Twitch's Stream Manager. That's nine days before launch, so your pre-launch GTA VI streams can finally sit in the right category.

It isn't the category's first outing. Twitch switched it on for the day on August 27, for Rockstar's Extended Look on Netflix.

There's no gameplay to stream yet. GTA VI unlocks at midnight local time on Thursday, November 19, on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. There's no PC version at launch, so if you stream from a PC, you'll need a capture card between the console and the PC.

Pre-load now. Twitch has told partners to do it as early as possible, because server load around launch could disrupt planned streams. Rockstar puts the pre-load at up to 212 GB, depending on the console, so check your free space first.

Twitch also told partners it will share its GTA VI launch plans after TwitchCon. We'll add them here when it does.
