Got 212 GB free?

1. From the home screen, open Settings (the cog, top right).
2. Select Storage. The console storage screen shows how much free space you have.
3. To make room, go to Console Storage > Games and Apps, choose what to remove, then Delete. You can download your games again later.
4. If you'd rather keep a game, move it to USB extended storage. In your Game Library, highlight the game, press the Options button, then choose Move Games and Apps.
5. If you have an M.2 SSD fitted, set Settings > Storage > Installation Location so that GTA 6 downloads to it.

4. To keep a game without it taking internal space, choose Move or copy and send it to an external USB drive.
5. With an expansion card plugged in, you can set it as the default install location from the same screen.

• PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 NVMe SSD (M key). M.2 SATA drives won't work.
• Capacity from 250 GB to 8 TB.
• Length: 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 or 22110.
• With its heatsink, the drive can be up to 25 mm wide and 11.25 mm thick (8.0 mm above the board, 2.45 mm below).
• Sony recommends 5,500 MB/s sequential read or faster.
• It needs a heatsink or heat-transfer sheet. Some drives come with one built in. Don't add a second.
• You'll need a #1 Phillips screwdriver. The PS5 asks you to format the drive the first time you start it up.

• A Storage Expansion Card plugs into the port on the back and runs Series X|S games at the same speed as the internal SSD. GTA 6 can be played from it.
• A USB 3.1 drive can store any Xbox game. Games optimized for Series X|S, like GTA 6, have to be moved back to internal storage or a card before you can play them.
• PS5 works the same way. PS5 games can't be played from USB extended storage, which needs SuperSpeed USB 5 Gbps or faster, 250 GB to 8 TB, and no USB hub.

PlayStation says to have 212 GB free. The download can be smaller, but plan for the full amount.

No. A USB drive can store GTA 6 but not run it. On PS5 it must run from the internal SSD or an M.2 SSD. On Xbox Series X|S it must run from internal storage or a Storage Expansion Card.

Usually, if you clear old games first. The 1 TB PS5 Slim has about 848 GB usable.
