Report: GTA 6's PS5 Install Size Is a Staggering 210 GB

A Colossal Download

According to a leak from the PlayStation Store backend, shared by the account PlayStation Game Size on X, Grand Theft Auto VI will demand a hefty 210 GB of storage on PS5. While Rockstar has not officially confirmed the file size, the number aligns with expectations for the sprawling open-world title, which launches on consoles November 19. Pre-loading begins a week earlier on November 12, giving players a head start—though those with slower connections may still face a lengthy wait.

How It Compares

That 210 GB figure dwarfs many recent blockbusters. For context, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 required 115 GB at launch, and Red Dead Redemption 2—Rockstar's previous epic—recommends 150 GB on PC. On PS5, GTA V Enhanced takes up about 105 GB. The leap to 210 GB underscores the sheer scale of Vice City and the state of Leonida, with its dense urban areas, wetlands, and dynamic systems.

Indie Comparisons and Storage Woes

The size becomes even more staggering when compared to indie hits. As one observer noted, 210 GB could hold roughly 3,500 copies of Balatro or 6,000 copies of Animal Well. For players with 1 TB SSDs, GTA 6 alone would consume over a fifth of the drive, forcing many to delete older games or invest in additional storage. With a PC release rumored for early 2027 (though unconfirmed), PC gamers may eventually face the same dilemma.

Whether you're on console or planning for a future PC port, the question remains: How much digital real estate are you willing to sacrifice for Rockstar's next masterpiece? Share your storage spring-cleaning plans in the comments.
