Adding storage

Only if the plan is not enough. Check the requirements of your own console before buying anything.

PS5
  • Type: M.2 NVMe SSD, PCIe Gen4 x4, Key M. SATA M.2 drives do not work.
  • Capacity: 250 GB to 8 TB.
  • Read speed: 5,500 MB/s or faster is recommended.
  • A heatsink is required, built into the drive or added once.
Xbox Series X|S
  • Only official expansion cards keep Xbox Series X|S optimised games playable, as on the internal SSD.
  • They slot into the back of the console, with no tools.
  • Series S and Series X use the same cards.
And a USB drive?
It can store games to free the internal drive, but Xbox Series optimised games and PS5 games have to be moved back to run. Handy to keep older games without downloading them again.

How much space does GTA 6 take?

Rockstar says up to 212 GB depending on your device. No size per console has been published, and nothing is known yet about a launch day update. We add a safety margin of 20 GB by default. It is our advice, not an official figure, and you can change it.

Why is the usable space smaller than the box says?

The console's system takes part of the drive, and drive makers count in decimal units. A PS5 sold with 825 GB leaves about 667 GB for games, and an Xbox Series S 512 GB leaves about 364 GB. The figures shown here come from press reports, with the source next to each number. Your console's own storage screen always has the last word.

Where to read your free space

On PS5: Settings, Storage. On Xbox: Settings, System, Storage. Game sizes are listed there too: use them for your uninstall plan. Saves stay on the console or in the cloud according to your settings, so check them before you delete a game you care about.

Questions and answers

How much storage does GTA 6 need?
Up to 212 GB depending on your device, according to Rockstar. No size per console has been published. Plan for some extra room for updates.
Will GTA 6 fit on an Xbox Series S?
On a 512 GB Series S, about 364 GB is usable according to the press, so 212 GB fits only if about 150 GB of games or less stay installed. The tool works it out with your free space.
How much usable space does a PS5 have?
About 667 GB on the 825 GB model, 848 GB on the 1 TB Slim, and 1.89 TB on the PS5 Pro, according to press measurements.
Can I play GTA 6 from a USB drive?
PS5 and Xbox Series games normally have to run from internal storage, an M.2 SSD on PS5 or an expansion card on Xbox. A USB drive can hold them, not run them. Rockstar has given no specific detail for GTA 6.
Do I need a new SSD for GTA 6?
Not if you can free enough space. Try the uninstall plan first: reinstalling an older game later costs nothing but time.
