GTA 6’s PS5 install size is so big you could store 3500 copies of Balatro inside
Grand Theft Auto 6 is reportedly set to require a 210 GB download on PlayStation 5, making it larger than Red Dead Redemption 2 and a substantial demand on console storage. The figure could mean players need to clear space before launch, particularly if they have limited broadband or a smaller SSD.
The estimate comes from PlayStation Game Size, which tracks upcoming releases through the PlayStation Store’s backend, and has not been confirmed by the game’s developers. GTA 6 is scheduled for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on 19 November, with console pre-loading expected to begin on 12 November. The reported size is about a fifth of a 1 TB drive and roughly equivalent to 3,500 copies of the indie game Balatro.
In short
- GTA 6 is reportedly 210 GB on PS5.
- The size has not been officially confirmed.
- Console pre-loading is expected from 12 November.
Explained simply
Grand Theft Auto 6 is the next entry in Rockstar Games’ open-world crime series, set in a fictional version of Florida. Players explore a large map and follow a story through characters involved in the criminal underworld.
Modern console games can take up a large amount of storage because they contain detailed environments, audio and other game files. The reported download size comes from PlayStation Game Size, which tracks PlayStation Store data; Rockstar has not confirmed it. A large download can mean players need to free space on a console or wait longer for it to download.
