GTA VI Download Size: A Problem for Many Players?

Less than a month will separate players from the official launch of "Grand Theft Auto VI", and millions of fans are eager to explore Vice City. While Rockstar Games has gradually provided the audience with new images of the game, through the Netflix Extended Showcase or film trailers rich in secret details, they still remain many unknowns on "GTA VI". However, some of these mysteries have been clarified (at least potentially) by leaks from the now infamous leaker, Cyberleek, which continues to prove to be in possession of a real copy of the game. Although Cyberleek disappeared for a short time, he returned in October to provide additional gameplay and previously filtered details. The highlights of the leaks included images of Jason and Lucia nude, but Cyberleek also offered background information on various elements of "GTA 6". In particular, the leaker seems to have confirmed the total size of the download file for "GTA 6", which could be higher than some players expect. The downloaded file size of "GTA 6" is one of the biggest among video games According to Cyberleek, the development build of “GTA 6” which is using to record the gameplay has a total size of about 200 GB. Of course, any information from Cyberleek must be taken with a pinch of salt. It is unclear what version of "GTA 6" owns, how it got it and how it differs from the public version of the game that will be released on November 19. However, considering the amount of gameplay confirmed by Cyberleek to this point, its reports have a certain value. Moreover, it does not seem unlikely that "GTA 6" will actually have a total size of 200 GB, as Rockstar Games has shown that "GTA 6" will be one of the most dense and in-depth games ever created. A great download was already provided by many players, but the filtered ratio is a little higher than the general expectations. We can refer to the file size for “Red Dead Redemption 2”, the last title of Rockstar, to establish a benchmark; this paints a similar picture. The total file size of that game at launch was about 125 GB on PlayStation and Xbox and 150 GB on PC. Considered that "Red Dead Redemption 2" was released eight years ago and has a much smaller map than Leonida in “GTA 6”, a 200 GB file becomes quite easy to believe for the new Rockstar game. How much space does GTA 6 take on consoles? If this escape from Cyberleek turns out to be correct and players should have 200 GB of free space on the disk to download "GTA 6", this could be a huge problem for some players. For example, a basic PlayStation 5 has about 665 GB of usable space, an Xbox Series X has approximately 800 GB and the Xbox Series S has 365 GB. This does not take into account others La dimensione del download di 200GB per "GTA 6" è un campanello d’allarme significativo, soprattutto alla luce delle specifiche hardware delle console più recenti. Il confronto con "Red Dead Redemption 2", pur essendo pertinente per la scala del progetto, non mitiga il problema: l'incremento di circa 75 GB rispetto al lancio del 2018 dimostra una strategia di Rockstar volta a creare un’esperienza più complessa e dettagliata, e questo si riflette direttamente sulla richiesta di spazio di archiviazione. Il fatto che Lucia Caminos e Jason Duval debbano essere presenti in scene esplicite, oltre che il background stratificato di Vice City, contribuisce ulteriormente all'ingente volume del gioco; il gioco si preannuncia dunque un’esperienza a costo computazionale non indifferente, sollevando legittimi dubbi sulla fruibilità per una parte consistente della base di utenti prevista.
