If you were curious about how much space you’d require on your PS5’s SSD for GTA 6, it appears the response is “quite a bit.”

X user PlayStation Game Size, known for consistently revealing the installation sizes for games on PS5, has disclosed the file size for the eagerly awaited open-world crime action game, and it’s likely that you’re going to want to make some space.

It’s hardly surprising to discover that this is a large, substantial game; GTA 5 demands a minimum of 148.2 GB, based on its PS Store listing. The sequel was always going to be significantly larger than that.

It’s noteworthy to consider this regarding the game’s absence of a physical release. Assuming the figure is true, GTA 6 would have likely needed around three blu-rays.

This would represent an even larger number for Xbox Series X, as it utilizes discs with lower capacities.

Perhaps this played a role in the physical edition omitting discs altogether in preference to a download code; reduced production costs, and no requirement to figure out how to fit multiple discs in a single game case.

The only viable alternative might have been to adopt a Switch 2-style game key disc, needing you to download the majority or entirety of the game.
