Xbox catalog lists GTA 6 download at up to 209.9 GB

Microsoft's store catalog now lists a download package for GTA 6 on Xbox Series X and S, with a maximum size of 225,336,918,016 bytes. We read the figure in the catalog, the data behind the Xbox Store listing, on November 10, 2026, the day Rockstar set for digital pre-load to open. It is the first size we have found on either console's store.

The byte count explains the two numbers going around for Xbox. Divide it by a billion and it is 225.3 GB, the decimal gigabyte printed on drive boxes. Count 1,024 bytes to the kilobyte, and so on up, and it is 209.9 GB, the binary gigabyte that storage screens commonly use. RockstarINTEL reported 209.86 GB and 225.34 GB for Xbox on November 9. Both match this one figure, so they are one download counted two ways, not a download and a larger install.

Rockstar's own number has not changed. Its support page says the game "will require up to 212 GB of available space depending on your device", one figure for PS5 and Xbox. Counted in binary units the Xbox package sits under that line, and counted in decimal units it sits above it. Rockstar has not said which way it counts, so the safe plan is the one on our file size page: have 212 GB free.

The catalog gives a maximum for a single Xbox package and lists no separate installed size. Japan's entry is slightly smaller, 224,136,269,824 bytes, and the catalog does not say why. The Xbox Store page itself prints no size, and the PlayStation Store listing shows none either, so there is still no store figure for PS5.

Rockstar's schedule opens Xbox pre-load worldwide at 12 a.m. GMT on November 10 and PS5 pre-load at midnight local time the same day. Boxed copies hold a download code and reach retailers from November 12. Our pre-load guide covers turning on the automatic download, and the game unlocks at midnight local time on November 19, Rockstar says.
