New GTA VI PS5 install data has surfaced online, suggesting Rockstar Games is using a shared base installation with separate story content for its upcoming open-world game. The information comes from a PlayGo chunk listing shared on X by user TexFunz2, ahead of the game’s scheduled November 19, 2026, release.
The listing divides Grand Theft Auto VI into 32 chunks covering build files, core game data, story content, a shared minigame package, and assets such as levels, textures, audio, and animations.
The largest chunk is labeled Levels (americas), taking up 64.51 GiB, followed by TextureDatabases at 53.42 GiB. Audio accounts for another 22.15 GiB, while the story000 content chunk is listed at 17.92 GiB. Two core files, bvh4 and bvh8, are approximately 12 GiB each.
According to TexFunz2, the GTA VI PS5 install data points to a shared base game, with story content stored separately from the main installation. The user also claims the online component will be separated, potentially allowing Rockstar to update individual parts of the game without modifying the entire installation.
The metadata also contains several chunks labeled “restofworld,” which TexFunz2 believes may contain content removed or censored in certain regional versions, particularly Japan. These files reportedly total around 1.46 GiB, equivalent to approximately 1.57 GB.
Other information surrounding the launch suggests GTA VI will require approximately 212 GB of storage on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Preloading is scheduled to begin on November 10, with PS5 downloads opening at midnight local time and Xbox preloads starting globally at 12 AM GMT.
Separate backend tracking has also pointed to 55 base trophies or achievements. These reportedly include story progression, side activities, 100% completion challenges, and a Platinum or Mythic unlock for completing the full list.
Grand Theft Auto VI follows Jason and Lucia in Leonida, a fictional state that includes a modern-day version of Vice City. The game is being developed exclusively for current-generation hardware.
