GTA 6 is the news of the month as Rockstar Games released the highly anticipated trailer of the sixth installment of the series. Easter eggs, game specifications, release date, and everything related to GTA 6 are highly talked about among fans. Among other things, the file size of the game is a big cause of concern for the fans.
It has been speculated that GTA 6 will be released with a download size of 750 GB. Such a massive size allows no wiggle room in the current consoles. For example, PS5’s new edition comes with 1 TB storage, out of which only a little more than 800 GB is available for use. If GTA 6 is released with a 750 GB size, then users have to delete existing games to make way for the GTA 6.

The rumor about the 750 GB size started when a leaker inside Rockstar revealed details about the game. As per the leak, which was confirmed by Rockstar, the game will also have 400 hours of gameplay and multiple cities on the map. As per the recent leak on Tiktok which revealed the map details, the size of the game is expected to be twice the size of Los Santos, which was the city in GTA 5.
At present, there is no official confirmation from Rockstar about the file size of the game. The rumored 750 GB might be an overestimation. A Reddit user recently used the map leaks and mathematical calculations to reveal that the estimated size can be expected to be around 200 GB.
Rockstar Games announced which platforms will support GTA 6
Apart from the official trailer and a soft tentative release date of 2025, Rockstar has also revealed the platforms that will be able to support the new installment of GTA. Rockstar game’s parent company, Take-Two Interactive, released an official statement on their website to reveal the details.
As per the statement, GTA 6 will be available on PlayStation 5 computer entertainment systems and Xbox Series X & S. At present, a PC release is not expected at launch. This is another concerning factor for a major section of the gaming community.
The rumors surrounding the cost of the game have also worried the fans. GTA 6 is expected to be around $150 as per early speculation. This cost will make it the costliest game of all time. The production cost of the game is around $2 billion. It wouldn’t be surprising if Rockstar Games tried to recoup the investment with the selling price.
GTA 5 has sold 190 million units to date and has earned around $8 billion in revenue. Rockstar Games has a successful track record with GTA and Red Dead Redemption. Considering all these facts, whatever the roadblocks the game might have. It won’t stop the fans from getting their hands on the most anticipated game of all time.
