How Big Is the GTA 6 Download?

GTA 5 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S sits at approximately 90GB. GTA 6 is a significantly more detailed game with a larger world, higher resolution assets, and an expanded audio library. A file size above 100GB is widely expected, with some estimates reaching 150GB.
Related Questions
Will I need to free up space before GTA 6 launches?
Analysis
Yes. Even at the conservative estimate of 100GB, GTA 6 will require significant free space on your console's SSD. PS5 has 667GB of usable storage and Xbox Series X has 802GB usable. If your drive is near capacity, clearing space before launch avoids a day-one delay.
