What happened
According to Polygon, citing data from PlayStation Game Size, the download install size for Grand Theft Auto 6 on PS5 has been revealed. The game is expected to require a significant amount of storage space, weighing in at 210 GB at launch. This is reportedly for the standard release of the game on PS5, with the install size for the Ultimate Edition and other platforms, such as Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, currently unknown. For comparison, Grand Theft Auto 5 requires 95 GB of storage on PlayStation 4 and 100 GB on PlayStation 5, while the Windows PC version of Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced requires 105 GB of storage space.
Why it matters for GTA 6 players
The large install size of Grand Theft Auto 6 may require players to clear out some storage space on their consoles in anticipation of the game's November digital-only launch. Fortunately, preloads for the game will start on November 12, giving players ample time to prepare. The significant size of the game is likely due to its expansive and modern-day take on Vice City, featuring a large number of NPCs, cars, and locations.
What remains unclear
The install sizes for the Ultimate Edition, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S versions of Grand Theft Auto 6 remain unknown, as well as how the game's size may change with future patches and content updates.
