GTA VI Demands Massive 210GB Storage
27 Oct
Summary
- Grand Theft Auto VI reportedly requires a colossal 210GB download size on PlayStation 5.
- This download size significantly exceeds Red Dead Redemption 2's 149GB installation.
- Players can preload the game starting November 12, ahead of its November 19 release.
Grand Theft Auto VI is shaping up to be one of the largest video games in terms of storage requirements. Reports suggest the PlayStation 5 version will demand a download size of 210GB, a considerable increase compared to previous titles. For context, Red Dead Redemption 2 required 149GB for installation on the PS4 back in 2018. This enormous file size presents a challenge, particularly for consoles with limited storage, like the Xbox Series S which offers approximately 362GB of usable space. Developers are continuously working to manage game sizes amidst increasing graphical fidelity and complex open-world designs. Players eager to jump into GTA VI on release day should prepare for a potentially lengthy download period, possibly extended by a day-one patch. The game is slated for release on November 19, with preloading beginning on November 12.
