With Grand Theft Auto VI just weeks away from its November 19, 2026 release, the hype train is at full speed. But a fresh rumor has players checking their hard drives: the game might demand a whopping 210 GB of storage space. That would make it the biggest file size in the entire GTA franchise—and one of the largest games ever made.

According to social media leaker @PlayStationSize and Insider Gaming, GTA 6 could clock in at around 210 GB. To put that in perspective, Rockstar's previous epic, Red Dead Redemption II, was about 200 GB. Neither PlayStation nor Rockstar has confirmed the number, and file sizes often change before launch, but given the game's massive map—reportedly twice the size of GTA V—a hefty install seems plausible.

Despite a 0% Rotten Tomatoes score, Sylvester Stallone's 'Alarum' is climbing Prime Video charts worldwide, proving audiences love his action-packed style.

This news lands amid a broader shift toward digital-only releases. Rockstar recently announced that GTA 6 would be digital-only, meaning physical copies will just include a download code rather than a disc. That decision, combined with the game's collector's edition—which costs a pretty penny but doesn't include a copy of the game—has already sparked fan backlash. Even the first trailer debuted on Netflix before hitting social media, adding to the controversy.

But big file sizes aren't new to gaming. Call of Duty titles have required anywhere from 100 to 300 GB, Genshin Impact can take up over 100 GB on PC and consoles (though it's lighter on mobile), and Microsoft Flight Simulator needs around 157 GB. As games grow more detailed and expansive, storage demands are only going up.

For GTA 6 fans, the 210 GB rumor might be a wake-up call to clear some space. If you're planning to dive into Vice City on day one, you might want to invest in an external drive or delete some old saves.
