File Size Revealed
GameSpot reports that the PlayStation 5 standard edition of Grand Theft Auto VI will require 210GB of storage, citing the PlayStation Game Size Twitter account which scrapes the PlayStation Store backend for pre‑load sizes. RockstarINTEL confirms the same figure, noting that the account has a reliable track record for upcoming PlayStation titles. Kotaku adds that Insider Gaming corroborated the number, making it likely accurate.
Preload and Release Details
According to GameSpot, preloading for the standard edition begins on November 12, giving players a full week before the November 19 release date. Physical code‑in‑box copies will also be available on November 12 for pre‑load. The Ultimate Edition’s size and Xbox Series X|S install sizes have not been disclosed, though RockstarINTEL suggests the Xbox version may be slightly larger due to different compression, while Series S could be smaller without 4K assets.
Context and Comparison
The 210GB footprint is roughly double Red Dead Redemption 2’s install size and places GTA 6 among the largest console games ever, though Kotaku notes several Call of Duty titles and ARK: Survival Evolved with all DLC exceed it. GameSpot mentions the game’s map is three times larger than Red Dead Redemption 2’s, contributing to the massive data requirement. A PC version is expected in early 2027, but its file size remains unknown.
