Pre-orders for GTA 6 have officially gone live, and PlayStation users are definitely receiving some special treatment to get them hyped ahead of launch.

Though GTA 6 is releasing on both PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on November 19, it appears PlayStation is getting some cool extra benefits.

GTA 6 PS5 Background Theme Explained

PlayStation 5 users will notice that the Welcome Tab on the console's home screen has been updated. You'll first see the GTA 6 logo fade into view before the store page for the game appears in the background.

While this is technically not an official GTA 6-themed wallpaper, fans are appreciating the small touch.

From the Welcome Tab, you can now scroll down to see details on the Ultimate Edition and its bonuses, the Vintage Vice City pre-order bonus pack, the second trailer, and how pre-ordering the game gets you a free month of GTA+.

It's unknown how long this background will last on the Welcome Tab, so if you want to catch it, simply power on your PS5 sooner rather than later. It's also worth noting that, as Rockstar and Sony ramp up their joint marketing campaign, there is every chance an official GTA 6 theme eventually becomes available on PlayStation.
