GTA 6's PS5 install size is so big you could store 3500 copies of Balatro inside

While Grand Theft Auto 6 doesn't have a confirmed PC release date yet, we do know it's coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X & S on November 19. Now, we also know that the game file console gamers will need to download is going to be a very big boy indeed, boasting a file size even bigger than Red Dead Redemption 2.

Reportedly, Grand Theft Auto VI will clock in at a total of 210 GB on PlayStation 5. That's according to PlayStation Game Size on X, who unearths file sizes for upcoming console releases by snooping around the PS Store's backend. I'm sparing a thought for anyone with a creaky internet connection (though at least you can pre-load the game on consoles from November 12, one week earlier).

That 210 GB figure is enough to make your head spin, even if the fully downloaded game doesn't actually end up taking quite that much space on your SSD. That said, a game spread out more than a fifth of a 1 TB drive's total capacity definitely stings during the memory supply crisis.

For comparison's sake, GTA 6's download size is markedly bigger than the 115 GB of available space Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 required at launch. You won't find me tearing through DMZ, but I'm likely still going to have to do some SSD spring cleaning in the not too distant future if those rumours about a Q1 2027 PC release for GTA VI are to be believed (Personally, I think Lauren's prediction that we'll be waiting until at least November next year is more likely).
