Abstract:
Due to the large scale of the map, the file size of "GTA6" may set a new record for a AAA game. Brother "Cyberleek" threatens to leak a development version of Rockstar that exceeds 200GB. However, compression technology may make the download file of the official version on Xbox and PS5 consoles much smaller.
As Cyberleek continues to upload game videos, the recently leaked "GTA6" game file size has also been exposed. A new source claims that the development version used to create these videos was over 200 GB in size. This may put some pressure on Xbox and PS5 console players, but the download size before the official release may be smaller.
If the market value of Cyberleek's "meme coin" reaches 30 million US dollars, he promised to release a fully playable version with more than 200GB. The file size here refers to the size of the software package shared on the pirated website, or it may refer to the storage space occupied on the leaker's hard drive.
The price of a huge open world
The scale of this project is huge and will likely result in GTA 6's file size being staggering. In an interview in August, Rockstar North studio co-head Rob Nelson confirmed that the map is roughly twice the size of the open world in Give Him Love 5. Vice City and the surrounding areas of Leonidas are also incredibly rich in detail.
For comparison, the upgraded version of "Give Him Love 5" on PS5 takes up about 95 GB of space on the console. PC users will need 105 GB of space. Considering that the capacity of some "Call of Duty: Black Ops" series has exceeded 200 GB, it is not unprecedented for "GTA6" to double the capacity. Nonetheless, many players may have to make some compromises before "GTA 6" is officially released on November 19.
Storage expansion for Xbox and PS5 is increasingly expensive due to parts shortages. Those players who were disappointed by the lack of a disc option now have another reason to regret opting for a boxed digital edition redemption code. Even if additional downloads are required, gamers limited by monthly traffic will still prefer Blu-ray discs.
