Unconfirmed report puts GTA 6’s PS5 install at 210 GB
Developing story first seen 2 hours ago
New reporting says GTA 6’s PS5 install may require 210 GB, a figure that would make it a major storage commitment for players. The report is unconfirmed, but if accurate, it could also help explain why the game’s physical edition is reportedly planned as a download code rather than discs.
The figure comes from X account PlayStation Game Size, which tracks PS5 game installs. It would take about a third of the storage on a launch-model PS5, while GTA 5 requires at least 148.2 GB. GTA 6 is due on 19 November 2026, with pre-loading scheduled to open a week earlier.

Full account
A report attributed to the X account PlayStation Game Size puts the PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto 6 at 210 GB. Rockstar has not confirmed the figure, so it should be treated as unverified. The account is known for reporting PS5 game sizes, but neither source presents an official listing from Rockstar as confirmation.
If accurate, the reported download would take up a substantial amount of console storage. One outlet compares it with Grand Theft Auto 5, whose PlayStation Store listing gives a minimum requirement of 148.2 GB, and estimates that 210 GB would occupy about a third of the drive in an original PS5. The actual space available varies by console model and installed content.
The same reports attribute a 12 November pre-load date to the leak, one week before the stated 19 November 2026 release. The second account also says the game is expected to go live at midnight, but these timing details, like the size, remain unconfirmed. It adds that no Xbox file-size figure is known.
One outlet considers what a 210 GB game could mean for physical distribution, suggesting several Blu-ray discs or a download-based format as possibilities. That is speculation, rather than a confirmed explanation for the reported edition plans. The other focuses more on the leak’s uncertainty and the absence of Xbox information, and says it will update its report if Rockstar confirms the details.
Where outlets differ
From the full account, which is AI-written from the sources:
Source 1 compares the reported size with GTA 5 and discusses possible physical-release implications, including multi-disc packaging; these are not points made in Source 2.
Source 2 includes a reported midnight launch time and says the Xbox size is unknown. Source 1 does not mention either detail.
Both sources attribute the 210 GB estimate and 12 November pre-load date to PlayStation Game Size, and both say Rockstar has not confirmed them.
Explained simply
Grand Theft Auto 6 is the next main game in Rockstar Games’ crime-action series, set in a fictional version of Florida. Players explore a large open world and follow the story of its central characters. The series is known for detailed environments and substantial game files.
PlayStation 5 games are installed on the console’s internal storage, which is shared with other games and apps. A large install can mean players need to delete or move other content before downloading a game. The reported figure has not been confirmed by Rockstar or Sony.
