Leaked Reports Say GTA 6 Could Need Just Under 200GB on PS5

If true this would take up roughly one third of a standard PlayStation 5’s usable drive and could force players to free space or buy an SSD.

Overview

  • Multiple unofficial reports and independent leaks published on June 8 indicate the current PlayStation 5 build of Grand Theft Auto VI may be just under 200GB, though none of the reports cite an official Rockstar figure.
  • Rockstar Games has not confirmed any storage numbers and the final install size can still change during development or after launch because of optimization work and day‑one or post‑release patches.
  • Earlier claims that the game would require more than 600GB were traced to a viral Xbox Store image and have been debunked as a hoax, showing that large false listings have circulated before.
  • A standard PS5 provides about 667GB of usable space after system software, so a near‑200GB GTA 6 would occupy close to one third of a console’s free drive and could push players to delete other games or buy compatible NVMe expansion storage.
  • The reported size fits industry expectations given GTA 6’s larger map, higher‑resolution assets, expanded audio and online content and readers should watch for official specs from Rockstar and any changes tied to launch optimizations.
