- After installation, GTA 6 is going to take 223 GB of space on PS5 consoles.
- The game has an install size of 210 GB, as revealed before.
- The title’s pre-load is set to begin on November 12, a week before it officially launches.
Believe it or not, GTA 6 is finally heading to consoles worldwide in just under two weeks. Arguably the most anticipated video game launch this century, the open-world title is living up to its hype so far, selling a whopping 7.7 million copies through pre-orders alone.
The Rockstar production is expected to be one of the highest-grossing entertainment launches in history, with Take-Two even saying that GTA 6 will be the biggest gaming release ever. Now, with the pre-load being available from November 12th, a new report has reportedly confirmed how much space players should clear for the anticipated title.
Why it matters: The humongous file size of GTA 6 sums up the sheer effort Rockstar has put in to develop an open-world even bigger than the one seen in Red Dead Redemption 2.

According to insider PlayStation Game Size, GTA 6 will take 223.08 GBs of space on PS5 SSDs worldwide. As revealed before, the game’s download size will be around 210 GB on the console, but players will need 223 GB of free space to accommodate the fully unpacked and decompressed file.
To put into perspective how massive the GTA 6 install size is, the game will take twice as much space on your PS5 SSD as Rockstar’s previous flick, Red Dead Redemption 2. The insider also revealed that the game’s bonus content will not require any extra downloads, with the extra packs being available as 1 MB files.
Considering how GTA 6 will feature a detailed weather system, overhauled police mechanics, in-depth NPC design far ahead of any other studio, and hundreds of interiors for players to explore, this file size feels like a kindness on the PS5 SSD.
GTA 6 is less than ten days away, and the entire world is holding its breath for the game, while also taking a few days off work to take in the liveliest open-world Rockstar has been able to build so far.
Do you think the GTA 6 file size is a little too big? Is the game going to win GOTY ahead of the likes of Ocarina of Time? Tell us in the comments below or head to the Tech4Gamers forum for discussion.
