MediaMarkt and Saturn will give a double-sided GTA VI poster with pre-orders in Germany: cover art and "Welcome to Vice City", no map

Status: Confirmed (MediaMarkt offer). The retailer says so itself on its product page and on Instagram. Rockstar has not commented on the poster. We still don't know whether it ships inside the case or separately.

MediaMarkt and Saturn Germany are including a double-sided GTA VI poster with physical pre-orders. The chain announced it on Instagram, and its PS5 and Xbox Series X listings carry "inkl. Poster" ("poster included") in the title. Pre-orders ship from November 12 and arrive by the 19th.

Two sides, no map

• Cover art on one side. The other shows familiar artwork with a "Welcome to Vice City" logo in the bottom right, per RockstarINTEL and Notebookcheck.
• No Leonida map. Rockstar is offering a free printable map on November 19 and a physical one for $0.99 at its store shortly after launch.
• It's the code-in-box edition. The case holds a download code, not a disc. It costs €79.99 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and the store doesn't list a PC version.

How much space you need

The box doesn't save you the download. Rockstar says you'll need "up to 212 GB" free, depending on the device, and that pre-load opens on November 10 (Push Square, citing Rockstar's post). Mixed attributes the advice to clear at least 212 GB on PS5 to Sony's guide, which we haven't opened. Rockstar hasn't given separate figures for PS5 and Xbox.

What the case says (unverified photos)

We've seen the two photos of a sealed German PS5 case circulating on Reddit, which Power Up Gaming (November 7) attributes to someone who says they work in a store. We can't verify that it's genuine or that boxes are already reaching shops. Here's what it reads:

• Front: the PS5 banner, a collage of characters and scenes around the logo, a USK 18 rating seal and the line "Spiel-Downloadcode. Keine Disc enthalten." (download code, no disc). The footnote asks for a PlayStation account and an internet connection.
• Back: a German synopsis of Jason and Lucia, the tagline "Willkommen in Vice City" and three screenshots. The icons list 1 player, online features, 230 GB minimum, vibration and adaptive triggers, in-game purchases and PS5 Pro enhanced.
• Small print: the code can be redeemed only once, the licence is for sale in Europe, and the text appears to require a PlayStation Store account registered in Germany.
• Rating: USK 18, with "drastic violence," "criminal role models" and "drugs," plus an in-game purchases notice.
• What's missing: no mention of a poster or a map, and no retailer sticker.

The 230 GB doesn't match Rockstar's "up to 212 GB," and we don't know why they differ. The photos in the carousel are that user's, shown unverified.

Is it inside the case?

We don't know yet. The listing says "poster included," but MediaMarkt's Instagram says to "get your poster" when you pre-order at MediaMarkt and Saturn, which reads more like a store promotion. Nobody has shown the inside of the box, and some fans doubt the design is Rockstar's. The first copies reach buyers on November 12, which should settle it.

Not to be confused with other posters

In the US, Walmart is running its own "Thank You" poster with a snack bag, per Beebom. And the $400 Vice City collection has its own poster with a map, per Notebookcheck. Different products.

Context: pre-load starts November 10 and the free map arrives on the 19th.
