Reports on Rockstar Games’ November 3 pre-load announcement put Grand Theft Auto VI’s storage requirement at up to 212 GB, depending on the device. That figure describes storage for pre-loading; it is not a separate size for each console.
GTA VI’s reported pre-load size
Vandal reports no individual figure for PS5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X, or Xbox Series S. The reported maximum therefore gives players a planning ceiling, rather than a console-specific download size.
When pre-loading is scheduled to begin
Notebookcheck reports that pre-loading is scheduled to start on November 10, 2026: at midnight local time on PS5 and at 12 a.m. GMT on Xbox Series X|S. The game’s reported launch date is November 19, 2026.
