As GTA 6 Preload Goes Live, Fans Dig Into the Data to Try to Unearth Unannounced Information Ahead of Launch

GTA 6 preloads are live for those who live in New Zealand (or are pretending to live in New Zealand to play early) and fans are scanning the game files for new information. Of course, the files are encrypted so they can only tell us so much.

The main takeaway is how much space each of the things in GTA 6 takes up. Rockstar has announced that GTA 6 weighs in at up to 212 GB, “depending on your device.” But following the release of the preload today, it was reported that the audio file alone is 22GB.

Elsewhere, one Rockstar fan believes that because the files for story content are separated out from the main game files, the same will be true for the inevitable next version of GTA Online. This would suggest that you’ll eventually be able to install single-player and Online separately.

An account focused on reporting PlayStation game file sizes also noticed “intentType": "launchMultiplayerActivity," seemingly confirming Online’s eventual appearance in GTA 6. Rockstar has been completely silent on the existence of GTA Online for GTA 6, but the enduring success of GTA 5’s online portion means it’s safe to assume it’ll happen at some point.

Interestingly, a file named "core_restofworld001" is missing from the Australia & New Zealand version of GTA 6, perhaps suggesting there's cut content in those regions. Another fan noticed that BVH8 will be supported in GTA 6. BVH8 specifically makes ray tracing work better on PS5 Pro, which Ubisoft used for Assassin’s Creed Shadow’s PS5 Pro support.
