After the dissemination of information on the indicative disk space requirement for Grand Theft Auto VI equal to about 210 GB on PS5, a lively discussion broke out online. Console owners are calculating the space to be released before launch, while some are already preparing to delete other games. The situation could be particularly critical for Xbox Series S owners with a 512 GB SSD: after installing system files, the available space is around just over 400 GB, which means that GTA VI could occupy more than half of its volume. One user expressed the concern of having to delete almost all his library of games installed, while another suggests sacrificing Red Dead Redemption 2. Despite this, part of the user seems to face the situation with greater tranquility, pointing out that, for GTA VI, he does not intend to hold at the same time numerous other titles on the console. The reaction was not exclusively negative. Many users have recognized expect dimensions in the order of 300-400 GB and consider 210 GB a relatively low value for a game of these proportions. A discussion has also been opened on data compression methods. Players point out that a large volume of installation does not necessarily imply poor optimization: modern games can save part of resources with a lower compression to quickly load files from SSD and reduce decoding costs. Others believe that 210 GB are mainly due to the huge amount of textures, models and high-definition audio files. At the moment, the 210 GB remain an unofficial figure. In addition, the final size after installation and any release day patch may differ from the preload indicator, so Rockstar Games’ final requirements will still have to be precisely defined. VERDETTO: CRITICO I 210 GB sono un campanello d’allarme che non si può ignorare. La discussione online è legittima e le reazioni dei giocatori, soprattutto quelle per quanto riguarda i possessori di Xbox Series S, sono assolutamente comprensibili. Il fatto che qualcuno suggerisca di sacrificare Red Dead Redemption 2 per far spazio a GTA VI evidenzia una discrepanza enorme tra le aspettative di Rockstar e la realtà dell’archiviazione moderna. La cifra indicativa è quantomeno ingannevole: giocare con l'idea di dover svuotare il proprio SSD, soprattutto se già saturo, genera un’ansia palpabile. È chiaro che i 210 GB rappresentano solo la base di gioco, una componente preliminare a un’esperienza online e DLC che amplieranno ulteriormente questo carico di spazio. La prudenza suggerisce di valutare attentamente le proprie scelte e prepararsi ad affrontare un'installazione ingombrante. L'affermazione di PlayStation Game Size sulla verifica dei dati è utile, ma non elimina la sensazione di una stima grossolana, soprattutto considerando l’impronta digitale di giochi recenti della serie GTA.
