‘GTA 6’ Reportedly Breaks Massive Franchise Record Ahead of Release
Reports suggest Grand Theft Auto VI may need 210 GB of storage, which would make it the largest game in the franchise and a substantial download for players. The figure has not been confirmed by Rockstar or PlayStation, so it could change before release.
The claimed size comes from social media account @PlayStationSize and Insider Gaming. For comparison, Red Dead Redemption II is about 200 GB, while GTA VI’s map is reportedly twice the size of GTA V’s; the article says the game is expected to be released digitally.
In short
- GTA VI may require 210 GB of storage.
- Rockstar and PlayStation have not confirmed the figure.
- Red Dead Redemption II is about 200 GB.
Explained simply
Grand Theft Auto is a long-running video game series made by Rockstar Games. Its games feature large open worlds where players follow a story and take on missions, and Grand Theft Auto V has been one of the series’ best-known releases.
A game’s storage size is the space it takes up on a console or computer, and a larger file can mean a longer download and less room for other games. Red Dead Redemption II, another Rockstar game, is around 200 GB, while reports say the next Grand Theft Auto’s map could be much larger than its predecessor’s.
The reported figure has been attributed to the social media account @PlayStationSize and gaming outlet Insider Gaming. Rockstar and PlayStation have not confirmed it, so the eventual download requirement may differ.
