Confirmed facts

Platform File Size Discrepancies

According to RockstarINTEL, PlayStationSize reported a 212 GB blanket size for GTA 6 on PlayStation 5, with three distinct regional builds: worldwide, Japan, and Australia/New Zealand. The same tracker now indicates the Xbox global version weighs 209.86 GiB (225.34 GB), making it larger than the PS5 version, a difference RockstarINTEL attributes to Sony’s improved compression algorithm.

Context and analysis

Regional Variations Suggest Possible Censorship

RockstarINTEL highlights that the Xbox Japan build is missing 1.2 GB of data compared to the global variant, while the Australia/New Zealand build differs by only 844 KiB in metadata. The publication notes this pattern mirrors GTA V’s regional cuts and could indicate censorship for the Japanese release, though it also acknowledges the gaps might stem from localized language, text, or voice‑over assets. The Xbox figures are sourced from an X post by @Cokymoky69 and are not officially confirmed by Rockstar Games or Microsoft.
