How many GB is GTA 6?
OfficialShort answer
You need up to 212 GB of free space, according to Rockstar. On Xbox the store download is listed at 225.3 GB.
Rockstar says the pre-load needs up to 212 GB depending on the console. The PlayStation Blog tells PS5 owners to free at least 212 GB.
The Microsoft Store lists the Xbox download at 225,336,573,952 bytes, which is 225.3 GB counted in decimal units. Consoles count in binary units, so the same file shows as about 210 GB on screen.
The pre-load opened on November 10, 2026. A first update of about 1 GB on PS5 and 2.2 GB on Xbox was reported on November 13.
To be safe, leave 230 to 250 GB free so later updates also fit.
