GTA 6 Install Size: Will It Break Record Storage Limits?
Published on 8/14/2025
As Grand Theft Auto VI approaches release, one burning question for fans is how much storage space will the game occupy—both at launch and over time. Here’s what we’ve gathered from leaks, expert predictions, and community discussions.
Fan Estimates: It’s Going to Be Huge
Across Reddit and gaming forums, posts speculate that GTA 6's install size will be substantial:
One user warned it’ll likely be 200 GB minimum, with fully updated builds exceeding 250 GB—noting how GTA V already crosses 100 GB on consoles and PC.
In a recent ResetEra thread, a fan predicted:
“No way it’s less than 180 GB to start and with online, definitely 200–250 GB by the end of full patches.”
Reasonable Predictions from Analysts
More conservative estimates are also emerging:
A system requirements analysis estimates about 120–150 GB for PC, drawing comparison to God of War: Ragnarök’s 150 GB footprint.
Wild Rumors vs. Practical Reality
Some leaks claimed an almost absurd 750 GB install size to accommodate 400 hours of gameplay. These have been widely debunked by more grounded sources.
