Excitement fills the gaming community as we edge closer to the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6). The recent leak of 80 gameplay videos followed by Rockstar Games’ official trailer in late 2023 only added to the anticipation for this long-awaited game. However, a recent rumor about the possible file size of GTA 6 has stirred up some debate among gamers.
On the social media platform X, user @GTAVIbestleaks recently posted information hinting at the possibility of GTA 6 having an enormous file size, potentially reaching a whopping 320GB. This news has sparked diverse responses within the gaming community. While some are excited about the potential for an unprecedented gaming adventure, others are raising concerns about the practicality of managing such a massive file size.
A user came to the defense of the speculated file size, expressing, “Consider this—it’s GTA 6 we’re discussing here. After such a long wait, we’re eager for the best experience possible. Even if it were 1TB, that’s just a hundred dollars, and gamers are going to invest countless hours into this game.” Conversely, another user expressed skepticism about the rumored file size, exclaiming, “Absolutely not! That’s excessive.
Interestingly, this rumor contradicts a previous leak that suggested GTA 6 would require a massive 750GB of storage space to run. Such a requirement would present a significant challenge for both PC and console users, as it nearly doubles the storage space currently required by the largest game on Steam, Ark: Survival Evolved.
For console users, the potential file size of GTA 6 could pose a particularly daunting problem. The PlayStation 5, with its 825GB of SSD storage, only provides 667GB to players. If the rumored file size holds true, PS5 users may find it impossible to install GTA 6 on their systems. A similar predicament awaits Xbox Series S users, who have a mere 500GB of storage, while Xbox Series X offers 1TB, but a portion is reserved for the system, leaving only 802GB available for game storage.
As gamers eagerly anticipate official confirmation or denial of these rumors, the potential file size of GTA 6 has sparked discussions about the practicality and implications of such a massive gaming experience. The ongoing debate sees players balancing the excitement of a groundbreaking game against the potential necessity for significant hardware upgrades.
