The GTA VI PS5 download size is 209.913 GB. Pre-load is already live in New Zealand and Australia. That number comes from a real PS5 download screen shared today. It shows 296.3 MB downloaded out of 209.913 GB.
The exact PS5 download size
The figure is 209.913 GB. It comes from a download screen shared by @PlaystationSize on X on 9 November 2026.
That account reads data from the PlayStation Network backend. It is a third party tracker. It is not an official PlayStation account. Rockstar has not announced this exact figure.
The screen is clear. It shows the download at 296.3 MB out of 209.913 GB. That is the full PS5 download size in New Zealand and Australia right now.
How 209.913 GB compares with 212 GB and 230 GB
Rockstar says GTA VI needs up to 212 GB. The real download is just under that. The gap is about 2 GB.
The PS5 box asks for more room. It lists 230 GB needed. That is the space to keep free on your console. It is not the download size.
So there are two numbers to keep in mind. The download is 209.913 GB. The box asks for 230 GB of room. Read our report on the PS5 box copies for the full details.
Version 01.001.004 and the 1 MB licence packs
The current game version on the backend is 01.001.004. That is the version players in New Zealand and Australia are downloading now.
The extra packs are small. The Ultimate Edition extras come as licence files of about 1 MB each. There is no second big download for them.
That is good news if you bought the Ultimate Edition. The main download is the big one. The extras unlock with tiny files.
How much space to clear and when pre-load opens
Clear at least 210 GB before your region opens. More is safer. Aim for 230 GB if you can. That matches the space listed on the box.
