Players Analyzed GTA 6 Files - Game World and Textures Take Up the Most Space

There are 6 days left until the release of GTA 6, which is quite symbolic. Pre-loading for this year’s most anticipated game started this week, and players learned that the installation requires more than 200 GB of hard drive space.

Meanwhile, a fairly detailed analysis of the GTA 6 game files has already appeared on social media. According to the PS5 metadata, the game map takes up the most space (64.5 GB), followed by textures at 53.4 GB. Audio and the game core take up just over 20 GB, while the files containing story content take up a little less. You can find more specific information about the GTA 6 files below:

This is how the more than 200 GB of GTA 6 are distributed, according to its metadata on PS5:

• Maps/ Level design: 64.5 GB
• Textures: 53.4 GB
• Audio: 22.1 GB
• Story content: 18.3 GB
• Game core: 25.5 GB
• Cinematics: 8.2 GB
• NPC AI: 5.4 GB
• Packs: 4.1 GB
• Animations: 3.9 GB
• Shared minigames: 1 GB

Additionally, there are other smaller files, such as data, shaders, executables, and textures.

This once again confirms just how huge the map in GTA 6 will be. Previously, it was reported that it would be about 3x larger than in Red Dead Redemption 2, although Rockstar has not yet officially revealed how it looks. That said, a leak of the game’s collector’s edition has shown just that.

Today, Sensor Tower revealed that GTA 6 has already sold more than 12 million copies. If you haven't purchased your copy of the game yet, you can do so on Eneba and take advantage of a great deal. Use the promo code EGW5 to get a 5% discount, and Eneba will also give you 14% cashback.
