Grand Theft Auto VI is projected to have a massive file size, with reports indicating it will be approximately 210 GB. This figure was initially shared by PlayStation Game Size, an account that tracks the download sizes of PlayStation titles, and has since been corroborated by other outlets.
While 210 GB is a substantial amount of space, it is not the largest file size seen on consoles. Several Call of Duty titles and ARK: Survival Evolved, when accounting for all downloadable content, exceed this mark. For players with limited storage, such as those using an original Xbox Series S, GTA 6 would occupy nearly two-thirds of their usable space, potentially requiring the deletion of other games.
The file size is currently noted for console versions, with the PC version's requirements yet to be revealed. This 210 GB figure also does not include potential day-one patches, future content updates, DLC, or the online component of the game, which could further increase the total storage needed.
Despite its significant size, the large footprint of GTA 6 is attributed to the detailed and expansive open world the game aims to deliver. The expectation of a massive game was widespread, and reports suggesting it might not be the absolute largest ever released have been met with some relief. Rockstar Games has not officially confirmed the final file size, and it could potentially change by launch.
Players planning to download GTA 6 should ensure they have ample storage space and a reliable internet connection for what is anticipated to be a considerable download.
