How big is GTA 6 and how much storage do I need?

What the official sources say

Source	Wording
Rockstar Support, installation requirements	“will require up to 212 GB of available space depending on your device”
Rockstar Newswire, November 3, 2026	“The pre-load file will require up to 212 GB depending on your device”
PlayStation game page	“clearing a minimum of 212GB of storage space on your PlayStation 5”

All three give the same number, but not the same wording: Rockstar says “up to 212 GB” and “depending on your device”, while PlayStation asks for “a minimum of 212GB”. Rockstar does not say which devices might need less, so 212 GB is the figure to plan for.

What that number is

It is the free space Rockstar asks you to have available, on PS5 and on Xbox Series X|S. None of the sources gives a separate download size for PS5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, so we do not list one.

There is no disc to install from

The boxed version contains a download code, so every copy is a full download. See Does GTA 6 come on a disc?.

How to check your free space on PS5

PlayStation’s support page for the game says: from the home screen, go to Settings, then Storage. To make room, delete data or move it to another storage device.

For the pre-load steps on both consoles, see How do I pre-load GTA 6 on PS5 and Xbox?.

What is not known

• The exact download size on each console.
• Whether a launch-day update will add to it.
