GTA 6’s 212GB PS5 File Size Prompts Madden NFL 27 to Beg You Not to Delete It

Rockstar’s 212GB GTA 6 installation is likely to put pressure on PS5 storage, potentially leading players to remove other games to make room. EA Sports has responded with a playful message asking Madden NFL 27 players not to delete the game, highlighting how major releases may disrupt live-service audiences.

A new PS5 includes a 1TB SSD, with some space used by the operating system, so GTA 6 could occupy roughly a quarter of the available storage. Madden’s message teases an “insider” signal on 17 November, apparently pointing to an Ultimate Team update scheduled two days before GTA 6’s release. EA also joked on social media about 210GB getting between players and Madden.
