I want one reliable setup checklist for PS5 before preload opens. What should be in the final version?

Start with firmware, storage clearance, HDR calibration, and controller battery checks. That gives you a stable baseline before preload opens.

This is close to what I wanted. I’m also adding restore licenses and turning off background downloads on launch night.

We should pin an admin-approved checklist once Rockstar confirms file size and preload timing, so the thread remains accurate.
