GTA 6 file size: How large will the game be?

Grand Theft Auto VI is barreling toward its Nov.

19 release with a Netflix-exclusive gameplay reveal later this month (not to mention a very active leaker ).

But one basic detail remains a mystery: how big will the game's file size be? The short answer: nobody knows.

Rockstar hasn't confirmed a file size for Grand Theft Auto VI , and there are no credible leaks or rumors pointing to a specific number.

The only figures floating around come from fan speculation on Reddit, where estimates generally land somewhere between 100GB and 250GB.

That's a guess based on the scale of the game and recent open-world trends, not anything sourced from Rockstar or its parent company Take-Two.

There's been plenty of comparisons to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 's roughly 300GB install size , but those numbers don't really hold up either.

Mostly because that file size is inflated by the fact that a single Call of Duty install typically bundles multiple separate games, including Warzone, traditional multiplayer, and campaign content.

Also, because Infinity Ward and co. don't compress their games really well .

Part of the speculation also stems from GTA VI 's being digital-only with no physical release.

GTA VI's will get a physical box release that will have a code to redeem online, though some fans have speculated that the game's sheer size is a factor in Rockstar's decision to skip discs altogether.

Multi-disc games were once common, especially in the PS2 era, with titles like Metal Gear Solid , The Legend of Dragoon , and the OG Final Fantasy VII relying on multiple discs to fit their content, and the practice has resurfaced recently too.

Horizon Forbidden West: Complete Edition became the first PS5 game to ship on two discs, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth launched as a two-disc release at around 145GB.
