Grand Theft Auto VI will require up to 212 gigabytes of free storage space on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles. Pre-loading begins at midnight on November 10, and the title officially becomes playable on November 19, infobae.com reported.
How much storage does the game need?
Rockstar Games confirmed that its upcoming open-world title requires 212 gigabytes of free storage to install on current-generation hardware, matching weeks of industry speculation.
infobae.com reported that Sony advised PlayStation 5 owners to verify their available console capacity well in advance of the installation window.
Players who lack the required capacity can expand their storage using internal drives or compatible external units before the files unlock.
Take Two, one of the developers responsible for GTA 6, is investigating those responsible for leaks concerning its video game.
When does pre-loading begin?
Rockstar set the official launch date for November 19, with pre-loading for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series starting on November 10.
Official PlayStation documentation states that downloads can commence at midnight on November 10 for users who meet the 212-gigabyte storage threshold.
This nine-day window aims to minimize server congestion and prevent launch-day download delays.
The GTA 6 trailer caused sales of the PS5 and Xbox Series to surge in the United Kingdom.
What steps are required before downloading?
Sony recommends checking account sign-in details and profile information prior to initiating the pre-load process to prevent transaction or download errors.
Players must secure a digital pre-order through the PlayStation Store or an authorized retailer to access the November 10 pre-load and play on launch day.
PlayStation also highlighted a lineup of certified hardware accessories designed for the platform, including the DualSense Edge wireless controller, Pulse wireless headsets, and Pulse Elevate wireless speakers, in addition to other accessories intended for users looking to customize their PlayStation 5 gaming experience.
