What will be the "Day 1" Install Size of GTA 6 on PS5?

A modder just squeezed GTA V into 2.5GB, proving games contain massive amounts of "bloat." With SSD prices skyrocketing due to the AI boom, storage space is premium real estate. Will GTA 6 be a hard drive hog that deletes your other games, or will Rockstar optimize the code?

When will GTA 6 pre-orders officially go live on the PlayStation Store?

Title IDs for GTA 6 just appeared in the PlayStation Store backend, the exact kind of infrastructure Sony needs before a pre-order page can go live. Rockstar hasn't said a word, but someone on their end pushed that data to Sony's systems, and the tracker who found it has a near-perfect record. With Take-Two's May earnings call needing real revenue projections to back up a $3 billion launch year, the financial clock is ticking louder than Rockstar's silence.
