Grand Theft Auto VI is one of the biggest launches of the year, and its download is big too. The game is reported to take about 210 GB on PlayStation 5, according to PlayStation Game Size, an account that tracks PlayStation Store listings. Rockstar has not published an official size.
GTA 6 key dates
Grand Theft Auto VI
— Rockstar Games (@RockstarGames) 2026
- Pre-load: from November 12, as reported
- Review embargo: November 18
- Release date: November 19, 2026, on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S

Will GTA 6 fit on your PS5?
The original PS5 has about 667 GB of usable storage, and the PS5 Slim about 848 GB. A 210 GB game takes up a large share, so it makes sense to clear space before pre-load day:
- Delete games you have finished; your saves stay in the cloud with PS Plus.
- Move older PS4 games to an external USB drive.
- Add a compatible M.2 SSD if you play many large games.
On a 100 Mbps connection, 210 GB takes roughly five hours to download, so pre-loading helps on launch day.
