As GTA 6 Preload Goes Live, Fans Dig Into the Data to Try to Unearth Unannounced Information Ahead of Launch

GTA 6 preloads have begun in New Zealand, prompting fans to inspect the encrypted game files for clues about its contents and technical features. The findings offer hints about the game’s size, a possible separate installation for its online mode and potential PS5 Pro ray-tracing support, though they do not confirm Rockstar’s plans.

Rockstar has said the game could take up to 212 GB, while its audio files reportedly account for 22 GB. File references suggest an online multiplayer activity and support for BVH8, a technology that can accelerate ray tracing on PS5 Pro, but neither detail has been officially explained; a missing file in the Australia and New Zealand version may also indicate regional content differences. Rockstar has not announced resolution or frame-rate details ahead of the 19 November launch.
