GTA 6, answered

How many GB will GTA 6 be?

Short answer

No official figure exists. Not on the PlayStation Store listing, not on the Microsoft Store listing, not on the Newswire. The first number worth believing appears when pre-loading opens on 12 November 2026.

Sources last checked 15 September 2026

We checked, because a lot of pages will tell you a number with real confidence. There is nothing behind any of them: no storefront listing carries an install size, and Rockstar has never published one.

Where an official number would appear, and when

  • The PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store listings. Both show a download size once the build is finalised, typically in the last weeks before release.
  • Pre-loading, from 12 November 2026. This is the hard one. When pre-load opens, your own console shows you the real size of the real build. That is the first number worth acting on, and it arrives seven days before launch.

Why the figures in circulation are worthless

The range you keep seeing — somewhere around 150 to 200 GB — traces back to unverified leaks and to people reasoning from the size of other open-world games. Neither is a measurement. Nobody publishing those figures has seen the build, and the ones that cite a source cite each other.

We could add a fourteenth guess to that pile and it would rank perfectly well. We would rather this page be the one that says the number does not exist yet, because in November the same page will carry the real one.

What you can do now

If you are planning storage, plan against the space you have rather than a number someone invented. A console that is comfortably empty on 12 November is a console that pre-loads without a problem; one that is nearly full is a problem you will discover at the worst moment. That is as specific as anyone can honestly be today.

What we do not know

  • The install size on PS5, Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S.
  • Whether the three differ, and by how much.
  • The size of the day-one patch, if there is one.
  • How much free space is needed to install on top of the download.

All of that gets answered here on 12 November, from a storefront listing rather than from a rumour.

Where this comes from

Every claim above rests on one of these. Anything marked reported is somebody else telling us what Rockstar said, and is treated as weaker than Rockstar saying it.
