Grand Theft Auto 5 File Size on PS5 Revealed
As far as successful games of the last couple of generations go, they don't get much bigger than Grand Theft Auto 5. It may have been released nearly ten years ago at this point, but it's still considered one of the best video games of the last decade, and it's not hard to see why. With a Metacritic score of 97 at the time of writing, it's still, along with GTA Online, proving very lucrative for its developer. Not only is it big in terms of scope and map size, but it's also a game that takes up a significant amount of storage on consoles, and the upcoming PS5 port seems to continue on that front.
According to a recent tweet from PlayStation Game Size, an account that, as the name suggests, tracks file sizes for upcoming PS games, Grand Theft Auto 5 is likely to take up just over 86 GB. By no means is that the biggest file size around for a modern game, but even with the PS5's available 667 GB on its in-built solid-state drive, that's quite a significant amount of storage that the game will need. Not to mention that this may not include any future updates or patches, which could see that number leap up, as it did on the previous gen console versions of the game.

The storage requirements for Grand Theft Auto 5 on previous consoles was around 57 GB, but this could fluctuate after updates and such, whereby the file size could be as much as 90 GB. For a game that came out in 2013, that is a lot of storage needed. Of course, it's to be expected that the PS5 port of the game will take up more what with improved visuals, and it's at least smaller than the likes of Gran Turismo 7, which requires just shy of 100 GB.
