GTA 6 reportedly needs 210GB on PS5
Quick answer: A PlayStation Store scraper reported a 210 GB download for GTA 6 on October 27, a figure Rockstar has not confirmed.
A leaked install figure puts Grand Theft Auto VI at 210 GB on consoles. The account PlayStation Game Size, which estimates install sizes by pulling data from the PlayStation Store's backend, posted the number on October 27. Complex reported the listing also showed a $79.99 Standard price, a November 12 pre-load date and a November 19 release. Stuff South Africa tied the figure to PlayStation 5, and said Insider Gaming later confirmed the same size.
Mixed News pointed out that the post never names a platform and that it is not an official Rockstar storage specification. It also does not settle the final installed size or the room later updates will need, so 210 GB of free space should not be treated as a guaranteed minimum.
Rockstar says digital pre-orders can start pre-loading on November 12, a week ahead of the November 19 release on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, according to Mixed News. Complex says physical copies arrive as download codes instead of discs.
Rockstar has not published a storage requirement, so the 210 GB figure remains an unconfirmed estimate from store data.
