GTA 6 Download Size: How Much Storage You'll Need
Not officially confirmed yet, but the estimates are converging. Here's how much SSD space to plan for before pre-load opens.
Last updated
GTA 6's exact file size isn't officially confirmed, but press estimates cluster around 150–200GB on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, plus a projected 30–50GB day-one patch — a realistic combined footprint of 200–250GB.
The Estimate, Broken Down
Rockstar hasn't published an install size as of this writing, so every figure in circulation is an estimate, not a confirmed spec. Storage requirements are expected to be virtually identical on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Make sure whatever you're playing on has room well before pre-loading opens on November 12, 2026.
How It Compares to Past Games
GTA V occupies roughly 95GB on modern consoles. Red Dead Redemption 2 runs about 120GB on console and roughly 150GB on PC. GTA 6's bigger world, denser interiors, and 2026-era asset quality are why press projections land meaningfully higher than either. An official number should surface on PlayStation Store and Xbox Store listings in the weeks before pre-load opens — check Rockstar's official site for the confirmed figure once it's live.
