GTA 6: launch, pre-load and storage

Grand Theft Auto VI arrives on November 19, 2026. Here is what is confirmed about getting it onto your console, and the one number nobody official has given yet.

What is not known yet

The install size. Until Rockstar or a console store prints it, any figure you see is an estimate. We will add it here when two independent publishers report the official number.

Get ready anyway

  • Look at your free space now: our PS5 and Xbox pages give the real figure for each model.
  • For scale, the big games on our install sizes page run from about 45 GB to about 132 GB.
  • The boxed version holds a download code, so every copy is downloaded: plan the room for it either way.
