GTA 6 file size revealed at 210GB, but SSD upgrades aren't the answer if you're already running out of space

GTA 6 was always expected to be a chonky download, but the actual file size has just hit the airwaves - a full 210GB heading to your PS5 SSD.

The information comes from PlayStation Game Size on Twitter, a niche, but very much appreciated source for upcoming file installs across Sony's consoles. 210GB puts GTA 6 in line with some of the greediest PS5 releases of the generation.

If you've been stocking your console with current-generation releases, though, some sacrifices might have to be made when GTA 6 pre-load begins on November 12. I have an additional 1TB SSD running alongside my own internal storage and regularly have to cull my installs to make way for a shiny new game, but I wouldn't recommend upgrading too heavily if you're staring down the barrel of the software management page.

Component shortages have caused chaos in the world of SSD prices, so much so that the cheapest 1TB sticks will now run you around $150 (Silicon Power, Newegg). Thankfully, the best PS5 external hard drives are having a slightly easier time of it right now - enter the Seagate HDD.

Here's the thing. The PS5's storage system is lightning fast, but PS4 titles don't take the same advantage of that SSD speed. If you've got older releases clogging up that internal storage, moving them over to a hard drive can free up valuable space without sacrificing any of your current-gen loading speed. I use the Seagate Portable HDD for my PS4 collection and, while it's seen its own price increases in 2026, it's still cheaper than a brand new SSD day to day.
