Reported Download Size
Dataminer "PlayStation Game Size" reported via X that Grand Theft Auto VI will have a 210GB download size on the PlayStation 5. This information has been corroborated by Insider Gaming. It is not yet confirmed if this figure represents the total installation size or just the game file itself.
Comparison to Other Titles
The reported 210GB size is 61GB larger than Red Dead Redemption 2's 149GB installation requirement on PS4 in 2018. It also represents more than half of the approximately 362GB of usable storage on a standard 512GB Xbox Series S. A day-one patch could further increase the total download time.
Industry Trend of Increasing Game Sizes
This large download size aligns with a broader trend in the video game industry, where AAA titles have grown significantly in size due to higher graphical standards, open-world structures, and online multiplayer features. While some developers have attempted to manage game sizes, the issue persists.
