GTA 6 is reportedly going to require 210 GB of storage on PS5, and a separate report says the game is currently targeting 30fps on consoles. Rockstar hasn't officially confirmed the file size, but you'd better prepare your PS5 hard drive, because GTA 6 is going to be massive.

GTA 6 file size reportedly 210 GB on PS5

According to PlayStation Game Size, GTA 6 is reportedly going to need 210 GB of storage on PS5. That's almost a third of the usable storage on the original PS5. If you've already got a bunch of games installed, you might want to start deciding which game you're deleting.

Rockstar hasn't officially confirmed that number. Still, with how massive and detailed GTA 6 looks, I wouldn't be surprised.

GTA 6 reportedly targeting 30fps on consoles, with PS5 Pro also uncertain

The second report carries some potentially disappointing news about performance. According to Video Game Chronicle, GTA 6 is currently targeting 30fps on consoles. The information reportedly comes directly from Rob Nelson, Rockstar North's head of development, following a visit from a YouTuber.

A 60fps mode hasn't been completely ruled out. Rockstar apparently hasn't decided whether one will be available at launch or even at a later date, and that uncertainty includes the PS5 Pro.

Why I'd understand Rockstar choosing visuals over frame rate in GTA 6

Personally, I would love to see a 60fps option. But considering how incredible the game looks, I can understand why Rockstar would prioritize the visuals over the frame rate.

Is GTA 6 being 30fps at launch a dealbreaker, or do you not care as long as the game delivers?
