GTA 6 file size reportedly revealed and its gargantuan

Not that anyone was expecting anything different, but it turns out 'Grand Theft Auto VI' might take up a lot of storage space.

GTA 6 file size reportedly revealed and its gargantuan

As the excitement over Grand Theft Auto VI grows, the enormity of its file size has been revealed. According to a PlayStation Game Size account on X, the install size for GTA 6 is reported to be 210GB. This size is quite substantial, though it doesn't surpass the file size of Call of Duty. The report also notes that a regular PS5 console typically has around 1TB of storage available for games.

Consequently, players who already own other large games may need to manage their storage space carefully. Despite the massive 210GB size, it's important to remember that this figure represents a purely single-player game at this point. Comparatively, other open-world games from recent console generations, such as Elden Ring (65GB), Assassin's Creed Shadows (100GB), and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 (98GB), have smaller file sizes.

While the GTA 6 file size is likely larger than these titles, the exact comparison is influenced by various factors. With GTA 6 set to launch on November 19, fans eagerly await its arrival.
