Grand Theft Auto VI reportedly requires 210 GB of storage space on PlayStation 5, with pre-loading set to begin on November 12 ahead of its November 19 release. The information was shared by PlayStation backend tracker PlayStation Game Size on X.
According to the reported details, players will be able to download GTA 6 one week before launch. However, the Xbox Store does not yet list a confirmed download size, showing only an approximate figure that is typically used as a placeholder.

The reported PlayStation details provide an early look at the game’s storage requirements and release schedule. Here is a breakdown of the information shared by PlayStation Game Size.

The reported 210 GB download size would place Grand Theft Auto VI among the larger releases on current-generation consoles. Modern AAA games increasingly require substantial storage space due to high-resolution assets, detailed environments, audio files, and additional content.
Several major releases already exceed 100 GB, with titles such as Starfield, Forza Horizon 5, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth requiring considerable storage space. Some games, particularly those with extensive additional content and high-resolution asset packs, can exceed 150 GB or even 200 GB after updates and expansions.
Grand Theft Auto VI is being developed and published by Rockstar Games. The upcoming open-world action-adventure game is set in Leonida, a fictional state inspired by Florida, with Vice City serving as one of its central locations.
The story follows Jason and Lucia, two protagonists whose criminal activities form the foundation of the game’s narrative. Players can expect an expansive open world featuring criminal organisations, robberies, dynamic weather, and satirical portrayals of modern social media.
Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled to launch on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S.
