GTA 6 Preloads are live for those living in New Zealand (or pretending to live in New Zealand to play early) and fans are scanning game files for new information. Of course, the files are encrypted and can therefore only tell us a little.
The main point to remember is the space in which each of the elements is located. GTA6 takes. Rockstar announced that GTA 6 weighs up to 212 GB, “depending on your device.” But following the release of the preload today, it was reported that the audio file alone was 22GB.
Elsewhere, a Rockstar fan believes that because the files intended for story content are separated from the main game files, the same will be true for the inevitable next version of GTA Online. This suggests that you will eventually be able to install single player and online mode separately.
An account focused on reporting PlayStation game file sizes also noticed “intentType”: “launchMultiplayerActivity”, seemingly confirming Online’s eventual appearance in GTA 6. Rockstar has remained completely silent on the existence of GTA Online for GTA 6, but the lasting success of the online part of GTA 5 means it’s safe to assume it will happen at some point.
Interestingly, a file named “core_restofworld001” is missing from the Australian and New Zealand version of GTA 6, perhaps suggesting that there is cut content in those regions. Another fan noticed that BVH8 will be supported in GTA 6. BVH8 specifically improves how ray tracing works on PS5 Pro, which Ubisoft used for PS5 Pro support of Assassin’s Creed Shadow.
“On its own, the PS5 Pro’s faster GPU improves performance without much effort from developers, but the game-changing technology is the PS5 Pro’s improved ray tracing capabilities that the BVH82 offers compared to the BVH4” Ubisoft said at the time. “Through our implementation of BVH8 support on PS5 Pro, we were able to accelerate GPU tasks involving the use of hardware ray tracing by approximately 300%.”
Officially, all we know about PS5 Pro support is Sony’s confirmation that GTA 6 will feature “PS5 Pro Enhanced Support.” Unfortunately, it’s not clear exactly what this means. Indeed, Rockstar has yet to announce resolution and frame rate details for GTA 6 on any platform.
However, those hoping for higher frame rates might be disappointed. According to experts, it is GTA 6 is unlikely to exceed 30 fps on any platform thanks to its ray tracing and physics simulations.
While we wait for GTA 6 to launch on November 19, there’s still a small chance that you can acquire some GTA 6 merchandise from Selfridgesbut it sells out quickly. And we’ve got all the info you need on the GTA 6 preload’s global release times, plus details on the physical poster.
