GTA VI download may need 212GB of hard drive space before launch
Pre-load storage requirements
Rockstar Games confirmed Tuesday that the pre-load file for Grand Theft Auto VI could take up to 212GB. The amount depends on the device, the company said. Rockstar advised players to ensure they have enough space before pre-loading begins. It also published a support page with further pre-load information.
When pre-loading begins
PlayStation 5 players can begin pre-loading at midnight in their local time zone on November 10th. Xbox Series X | S players can start at 12AM GMT that day. The announced file size is consistent with recent rumors that the game could require substantial storage, though Rockstar’s figure is given as a maximum that varies by device.
Launch and purchase details
GTA VI launches November 19th and costs $79.99. It will be available only through digital download. Physical editions will contain a code rather than the game itself, meaning buyers will also need to download it and have sufficient console storage.
