The hype for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) continues to build as new details about the game’s potential file size have surfaced. According to leaks and fan analysis, GTA VI could require a massive 200 GB of storage space, making it one of the largest games ever released. Here’s what we know.
What’s the Leaked File Size?
During the infamous 2022 leak, which revealed raw gameplay and features of GTA VI, fans discovered that the development build of the game was around 80 GB. Based on this, Reddit user Denso95 speculated that the final version could balloon to just under 200 GB.
This estimate aligns with Rockstar Games’ history of creating expansive, detailed open worlds. For comparison:
- GTA V required over 70 GB of storage.
- Red Dead Redemption 2 took up 120 GB.
Given the advancements in graphics, gameplay, and world-building expected in GTA VI, a 200 GB file size seems plausible—and justified.
Why the Hype?
Fans are eagerly anticipating GTA VI not just for its size, but for the depth and detail it promises. The game’s open world is expected to be the most immersive and dynamic yet, offering countless hours of exploration and gameplay.
- Denso95: “We’re going to be playing GTA VI for ages when it comes out and scouring its open-world for every minor detail, so reserving a massive amount of hard drive space seems perfectly reasonable.”
What Does This Mean for Players?
While a 200 GB file size might seem daunting, it’s a small price to pay for what could be one of the most groundbreaking games of the decade. For players concerned about storage, affordable solutions like external hard drives or SSD expansions are readily available.
