Grand Theft Auto VI has been confirmed to take up 210 GB of storage, while its true that this a huge game I still think that Rockstar Games did some insane wizardry when it comes to optimization.
Some games can take up 60-75% of storage space compared to GTA VI (or even more), for example:
> Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War 175GB - (250GB for Ultra Settings)
> S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 - 160GB
> Assassin's Creed: Valhalla 160 GB
> Forza Horizon 6 - 156 GB
> Phantom Blade Zero - 145 GB (300GB of available space for PC pre-load setup)
> ARK: Survival Evolved - 126GB (with all DLCs, it can take up as much as +400GB)
> Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 - 115 GB
These are not bad games by any means, however if you think about how much content is packed in GTA 6, you'll see why this is impressive
For instance, GTA 6 has:
> High quality textures and realistic visuals across a large open-world
> Huge amount of game mechanics
> Fully modeled planes, cars, helicopters, motorcycles etc.
> lots of customization options
> Huge NPC variety, Wildlife and pets
> Detailed weapons
> Dialogue lines
> Mini-games
> Random events
> Radio stations
> TV shows and TikTok for in-game smartphones
> A map twice the size of Los Santos
> Detailed Interiors
> over 600,000 Animations for NPCs and you can imagine how much voice lines will be for each one of them
And it still feels like I'm just scratching the surface just mentioning these, its mindblowing to see just how well Rockstar Games managed to optimize this game to take that amount of storage space

Phantom Blade Zero has now sold 850K pre-launch copies, with 73.8% on Steam and 26.2% on PS5. (@alineaanalytics estimates).
Overall, around 62.5% of Phantom Blade Zero’s pre-launch copies sold have been in China, Taiwan, or Hong Kong. These markets – but predominantly China – account for 75.9% of the copies on Steam and about 24.9% on PS5.
PB0 has already generated $43M in revenue, with 69.2% via Steam and 30.8% via PS5 – slightly different shares due to regional pricing and the higher share of copies sold in lower-priced countries on Steam.
Now, the review embargo’s been lifted ahead of Phantom Blade Zero’s October 29 launch, and critics across the world are gushing. It’s currently sitting at 88 on Metacritic, and is yet another game-of-the-year contender in an already BANGING year.
PB0 has also sold another 80K+ copies since the embargo lifted yesterday. And it’s already a top 40 new 2026 game by revenue (across PlayStation, Steam, and Xbox), and it’s not even out yet or available for purchase on Xbox.
It won't hit the highs of Black Myth's insane sales, but it'll sell a lot of copies this year in a crowded market. I can't wait to jump in later this week, myself.
