If you're looking forward to playing GTA VI make sure to free up some space on your hard drive before it releases. Rockstar Games is creating a detailed world that will require a massive amount of storage space for installation files. This high demand for storage will be a problem for those who only have small SSDs and will likely require an upgrade or active management. It's important to keep this space in mind now so we won't run into install issues later.
Massive storage demands may require SSD upgrades
One of the most highly anticipated games of recent memory is coming from Rockstar Games. The scope of the open world game is what's causing all these technical issues. With a massive estimated size we can expect the game to be aiming for high visuals and dense asset placement. The scale of these needs means a lot of storage is going to be required from players.
Right now the estimated download size for Grand Theft Auto VI is potentially as high as 210GB. Of course this is just an estimate and no set size has been confirmed by the developers. This is due to the fact that in the source text the size of it 'could require' this much storage space. So we should consider this 210GB as an estimate and planning guide and not necessarily a hard set number.
This estimate demonstrates just how high the storage demands can be for modern games. It shows a pretty large increase in storage needed over previous games. Stay tuned to official outlets to see if this changes as the game development goes along. While the end result might differ slightly it's evident that a lot of storage will be needed.
