“Grand Theft Auto VI” Reportedly Requires a Massive 210GB Download—Preload Begins Nov. 12

With Rockstar Games' "Grand Theft Auto VI" nearing release, the game's download size is reportedly a massive 210GB, potentially making it one of the largest titles on PS5. If the figure proves accurate, anyone hoping to play on launch day may need to clear a substantial amount of console storage first.

According to information shared on October 27, 2026, by PlayStation Game Size, a social media account that tracks PlayStation Store backend data, the PS5 version of "GTA VI" currently has a download size of approximately 210GB. Insider Gaming said its own sources provided matching information, though Rockstar Games has yet to officially announce the final size and the figure could still change.

The original PS5 offers roughly 667GB of usable storage, meaning a 210GB download would consume nearly one-third of its available space. Players who already have other large games installed may need to delete some titles or expand their SSD storage, underscoring the demands of "GTA VI's" sprawling open world.

The leaked figure refers to the download size and may not match the amount of storage the fully installed game ultimately requires. A potential launch-day update could push that number even higher, while no reliable information is currently available on whether the Xbox Series X|S version will require the same amount of space.

"Grand Theft Auto VI" is scheduled to launch for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026, with preload expected to begin November 12, giving players a full week to prepare. If the 210GB figure holds, storage space will not be the only concern—download speeds could also play a major role in whether fans are ready to hit the streets on day one.
