Are you having storage sweats over CoD’s massive download size? Black Ops 6‘s a whopping 300GB, and everyone’s wondering if the upcoming GTA 6 will follow suit.
CoD Storage Hog
Before we go to GTA 6, let’s dissect Black Ops’s weight. This giant download isn’t just one game; it’s like a whole gaming buffet! You’ve got the base game, extra multiplayer stuff, and even some older CoD titles piled on your plate. Plus, CoD games aren’t exactly known for being super streamlined, which inflates the file size.
Will GTA 6 follow? Probably Not
Rockstar’s famous for crafting massive open worlds that still run smoothly. Remember GTA 5? Gigantic game, surprisingly good performance even on older hardware, yet it only needed 94 GB.
- GTA 6 is expected for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, which boast fancy new storage and compression tech. Imagine Rockstar packing in more detail without the file size exploding!
- As mentioned, Rockstar‘s a master of squeezing impressive performance out of their games. While GTA 6 will no doubt be ambitious, it likely won’t be a storage nightmare like CoD.
- Early Predictions: Leaks and educated guesses suggest GTA 6 might land around 150-200GB. Still a hefty download, but way better than 300GB!
