GTA 6 Reportedly Breaks Massive Franchise Record Ahead of Release With 210 GB File
A reported storage milestone
Social media user @PlayStationSize and Insider Gamer claimed that GTA VI may take up 210 GB of storage. That would make it the largest file size in the Grand Theft Auto franchise and one of the biggest games ever made.
How it compares with earlier games
Rockstar’s previous game, Red Dead Redemption II, was about 200 GB. A 210 GB GTA VI file would be larger, though the reported difference is modest by comparison.
Release buildup has stirred debate
The article says less than a month remained until GTA 6’s release. While anticipation is high, reports that the game would be released digitally have upset some players; the article describes the plan as a digital release rather than traditional physical copies on discs.
The collector’s edition also drew criticism for its steep price and lack of a game copy. The first look at the game prompted an uproar after appearing on Netflix before it was shared publicly on social media hours later.
Key points
- GTA VI may require 210 GB of storage, according to unconfirmed reports.
- Neither Rockstar Games nor PlayStation has verified the reported file size.
- Red Dead Redemption II was about 200 GB.
