Grand Theft Auto VI's file size has been revealed, and it is colossal. According to PlayStation Game Size, the standard edition of the game, priced at $80, will demand 210GB of storage capacity. Details regarding the file size for the $100 Ultimate Edition, which includes additional content, have not yet been disclosed. Similarly, the storage requirement for the Xbox Series X|S version remains unknown, though it is expected to be comparable to the PlayStation 5's needs.
Preloading for Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled to begin on November 12, a necessary feature given the game's substantial footprint on storage devices. Players may need to clear significant space on their PS5 or Xbox Series X|S consoles to accommodate the title. This reported file size is double that of Rockstar's previous major release, Red Dead Redemption II.
The immense storage requirement for GTA 6 was anticipated by many, and the confirmed figure positions it among the largest games ever released. The game's map is reportedly three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2's, and it is packed with extensive detail. Grand Theft Auto VI is slated for release on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Industry analysts predict the game could achieve 25 million preorders by launch, generating an estimated $2 billion in revenue.
While Grand Theft Auto VI is confirmed as a strictly single-player experience, it is widely assumed that Rockstar Games will eventually release a new iteration of GTA Online. A PC version of the game is expected to launch in early 2027.
