The world is expected to come to a standstill in roughly three weeks, when the long-overdue, much-anticipated GTA VI finally, finally launches on November 19.
If you've already preordered the game, or are planning to, you might be wondering whether you've got the best TV to make the most of its sumptuous graphics. But there's something else you'll want to consider before launch day: is your home internet connection up to the task of downloading what could be an absolutely enormous game?
Our friends at GamesRadar have reported that GTA VI could weigh in at a whopping 210GB on PS5, roughly double the size of GTA V. And with Rockstar confirming that even physical copies will contain a download code rather than a disc, there's no escaping the need for a sizeable download, regardless of which version you buy.
That means you'll not only need to make sure you've got enough storage space on your console — one of the best SSDs for PS5 could help if you're running low — but you'll also want to know how long it'll take to download. And with preloading confirmed to start on November 12, there's good reason to start preparing now.
So, I've crunched the numbers to find out how long a 210GB download would take on every NBN speed tier, from NBN 25 all the way up to NBN 2000.
The results make for interesting reading. While the difference between the slowest and fastest plans is enormous, it's the jump from NBN 100 to NBN 500 that could provide the most compelling reason to upgrade.
