A fake 'GTA VI' file size screenshot sent the internet into a frenzy
I'm not sure I've ever seen an unreleased video game generate more anxiety on the internet than Grand Theft Auto VI.
That's exactly what happened this week, as a doctored screenshot of the game's Xbox Store page featuring a laughably large file size went viral on the site formerly known as Twitter. User @TheCanadianGTR posted the image early on Christmas Eve, claiming that the game would have a storage footprint of 676.7GB on an Xbox console.
The signs that this is fake are numerous and obvious. For starters, the official Xbox storefront page for the game doesn't list a storage size at all. This is likely due to the fact that GTA VI isn't launching for another year; it's very possible Rockstar Games doesn't even know what the file size will be yet. Beyond that, while some bigger games like recent Call of Duty releases have approached 200GB in size, absolutely nothing at this point has even come close to 600GB, which is more or less the entirety of the functional hard drive space on a base PS5 or Xbox console. GTA VI is probably going to be large, but I can guarantee that it won't be triple the size of the largest existing big-budget games.

Rockstar debunks ongoing rumours, confirms GTA 6 launch plans
Rockstar Games officially confirmed that GTA 6 will release as per the schedule on November 19, 2026, dismissing all the speculations that sent the gaming enthusiasts into a frenzy.
The clarification comes after the circulation of a fake Xbox screenshot claiming the game would need an enlarged 676.7GB of storage that quickly went viral.
The company further reaffirmed via its official channels that the final launch will occur in November 2026, and will not face any further delay.
Consistent delays in launch sparked outrage among fans; however, the studio addressed them, saying the development requires some time to offer an exhilarating experience.
GTA 6 has been delayed twice, as the game was initially expected to release in Fall 2025, then in May 2026, and the highly anticipated game is finally slated to launch in November 2026.
