With GTA VI expected to come in at 210GB, here's how long it'll take to download on every NBN speed

The biggest video game in history is prepping for launch, but is your home internet connection up to the task of ensuring it will download as quickly as possible?

With GTA VI expected to come in at 210GB, here's how long it'll take to download on every NBN speed

In roughly three weeks, the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI is set to release on November 19. Before downloading the game, gamers should consider their internet connection's ability to handle a 210GB download. Our analysis shows that download speeds range significantly across NBN speed tiers. An NBN 25 connection would take approximately 18 hours and 40 minutes, while the fastest NBN 2000 connection could complete the download in just 14 minutes.

An NBN 500 plan offers a significant improvement, reducing the download time by nearly four hours compared to NBN 100. Despite the substantial differences in download times, actual speeds may vary due to network congestion and the console's capabilities.
