German Box Lists Higher Storage Requirement
A sealed retail copy of Grand Theft Auto 6 has been photographed in Germany, revealing a minimum storage requirement of 230GB for the PlayStation 5. This figure is 18GB higher than the official pre-load requirement of up to 212GB stated by Rockstar.
The box was initially shared by a Reddit user claiming to work at a German retailer and later reposted on X by the account @YourAnonOne. The front of the box indicates it contains a game download code, with no physical disc included.
The back of the box lists various features, including online functions, in-game purchases, and DualSense controller support, alongside the 230GB minimum storage icon.
Discrepancy Between Box and Rockstar's Figure
The discrepancy between the 230GB requirement on the box and Rockstar's official figure may suggest additional installation space or a potential day-one patch. However, Rockstar has not provided any clarification regarding this difference.
The official pre-load details from Rockstar indicate that the game will need up to 212GB of available storage, which is now in question due to the higher figure presented on the German box.
Official Pre-load Details from Rockstar
Rockstar has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6 will launch on November 19, 2026, with pre-load available from November 12, 2026. The game will be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
The official storage requirement for pre-loading the game is set at up to 212GB, which has now been contradicted by the reports from the German retail box.
