Travis Scott posted a carousel of photos to his Instagram feed on Nov. 11, and the first and third slides show what he presents as an unopened physical PlayStation copy of Grand Theft Auto VI. Billboard reported the post. The game is scheduled for release on Nov. 19.

The caption was a casual invitation: "What y'all on? Tryna lock in. Beats, pizza, bring ya [own] controller. Who down?" It asks friends and fans to join a gaming session and bring their own controllers.

For players who pre-ordered the game, there is a pre-load file of 212GB. A pre-load is a download that sits on a console before launch day, so the game can open as soon as the release date arrives. Anyone planning to play on Nov. 19 would need that much free storage space ready in advance.

The release is also tied to music. Travis Scott is featured on Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, a 34-track collection, with a song titled "Rhyno." The album is a soundtrack-style release connected to the game, and the track list carries his name alongside the others.

Two days after the game's launch, he is set to share top billing with Cardi B at Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival in Miami on Nov. 21. A co-headline means both artists are the main draw on the bill.

Fans who want the basics can note three dates: the game on Nov. 19, the album track featuring Travis Scott, and the Miami festival on Nov. 21.
