How many GB is GTA 6? File size and space you need

Confirmed Up to 212 GB, depending on your console (Rockstar Support). The PlayStation Store asks for at least 212 GB free on PS5 (PlayStation Store).

Will it fit on my console?

Console	Storage	Usable for games (approx.)	Room for GTA 6?
PS5 (original)	825 GB	About 667 GB	Yes, if you clear space
PS5 Slim / PS5 Pro	1 TB / 2 TB	About 850 GB / 1.8 TB	Yes
Xbox Series X	1 TB	About 800 GB	Yes
Xbox Series S (512 GB)	512 GB	About 364 GB	Yes, but it’ll take over half your space

The usable space figures are typical numbers after the system software, so treat them as a rough guide and check your own storage screen.

How to make room

• Delete games you’ve finished. Your saves stay in the cloud on PS Plus and Xbox, and usually on the console too.
• Move older games to an external USB drive. PS4 and Xbox One games can even run from one.
• On PS5 you can also fit an M.2 SSD in the expansion slot. On Xbox, a Seagate or WD expansion card does the same job.

Does the boxed version need the download too?

Confirmed Yes. The box holds a download code, not a disc, so everyone downloads the full game (Rockstar Support).

When can I start downloading?

Reported Digital buyers have been able to pre-load since 10 November, nine days before launch, so there’s time to get it down even on slow broadband (GamesRadar+, TechRadar).

Leave some headroom above 212 GB. Launch patches usually need extra space while they install. Full setup steps are in our pre-load guide.
