😲 GTA 6 is set to be the biggest game Rockstar has ever made in terms of full size
📈 The standard edition for PS5’s size is set to be 210GB
😬 That’s a quarter of a PS5 Slim internal SSD’s capacity
🎮 It means it’ll be over double the size of both RDR 2 and PS5’s GTA 5 port
The file size for GTA 6 has been revealed, and if true, it could be a rather hefty title.
According to PlayStation Game Size on X (via GameSpot), the $80 standard edition of GTA 6 will reportedly take up 210GB of storage on PS5.
That works out to approximately a quarter of the usable capacity inside a PS5 Slim – and, if you’re on an original PS5 with the 825GB SSD (666GB of which is usable), then you’re looking at nearly a third of your capacity being taken up by one game.
We don’t know how big the $100 Ultimate Edition is, which includes even more content than the standard game, nor how large the Xbox Series X|S version of GTA 6 is going to be.
For some good news, you’ll at least be able to preload GTA 6 on November 12, giving you a week to move some games around or uninstall them so you can fit Rockstar’s newest title on your SSD.
For reference, if this file size is true, it’s double the size of Red Dead Redemption 2, and between two and three times as large as GTA 5 Expanded and Enhanced on PS5.
It’s for good reason, though, as the GTA 6 map is three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2’s, and Rockstar has packed the title with all sorts of fine details not even the executives know about just yet.
GTA 6 launches in just under a month, releasing on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
It seems like we also won’t have to wait too long for a PC port, as it could come in early 2027 according to reports.
The PC release could coincide with GTA 6 Online launching, which Twitch CEO Dan Clancy believes will also take place “next year”.
