Why is GTA 6 so big?
At 212GB, GTA 6 is one of the largest games ever. This massive size isn't just for detailed graphics; it's a deliberate choice. Large files make illegal copying harder and ensure players spend more time downloading, investing them further in the game before they even play. It also allows for extensive content updates.
