Of course, the files are encrypted so they can only tell us so much.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The main takeaway is how much space each of the things in <u>GTA 6<\/u> takes up. Rockstar has announced that GTA 6 weighs in at up to 212 GB, \u201cdepending on your device.\u201d But following the release of the preload today, it was reported that the audio file alone is 22GB.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Elsewhere, <u>one Rockstar fan believes<\/u> that because the files for story content are separated out from the main game files, the same will be true for the inevitable next version of GTA Online. This would suggest that you\u2019ll eventually be able to install single-player and Online separately.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">GTA 6 Launch Screenshots<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2277167929 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">An account focused on reporting PlayStation game file sizes also noticed \u201cintentType&#8221;: &#8220;launchMultiplayerActivity,&#8221; seemingly confirming Online\u2019s eventual appearance in GTA 6. Rockstar has been completely silent on the existence of GTA Online for GTA 6, but the <u>enduring success of GTA 5\u2019s online portion<\/u> means it\u2019s safe to assume it\u2019ll happen at some point.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Interestingly, a file named &#8220;core_restofworld001&#8221; is missing from the Australia &amp; New Zealand version of GTA 6, perhaps suggesting there&#8217;s cut content in those regions. <u>Another fan noticed<\/u> that BVH8 will be supported in GTA 6. BVH8 specifically makes ray tracing work better on PS5 Pro, which Ubisoft used for Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadow\u2019s PS5 Pro support. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cBy itself, the PS5 Pro&#8217;s faster GPU helps performance without much effort from developers, but the game changing technology is the improved ray tracing capabilities of the PS5 Pro that BVH82 offers over BVH4,\u201d <u>Ubisoft said<\/u> at the time. \u201cWith our implementation of BVH8 support on PS5 Pro, we were able to speed up GPU tasks involving hardware ray tracing usage by about 300%.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Officially, all we know about PS5 Pro support is the confirmation from Sony that GTA 6 will feature \u201cPS5 Pro Enhanced Support.\u201d Unfortunately, there\u2019s been no word on what exactly that means. Indeed, Rockstar has yet to announce resolution and frame rate details for GTA 6 on any platform.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">However, those hoping for higher frame rates might be disappointed. According to experts, it\u2019s <u>unlikely GTA 6 will go higher than 30fps<\/u> on any platform because of its ray tracing and physics simulations. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">While you wait for GTA 6\u2019s November 19 launch, there\u2019s still a small chance you might be able to bag some <u>GTA 6 merch from Selfridges<\/u>, but it\u2019s selling out fast. And we&#8217;ve got all the information you need on the GTA 6 preload global release times, as well as details on the physical poster.<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"poll-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\"\/><\/span><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"author-sign-off\"><\/p>\n<section class=\"author-sign-off\" data-cy=\"author-sign-off\"><span class=\"stack jsx-59817748 jsx-1927875859\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"rounded jsx-444076027 jsx-1730475047 profile-thumb jsx-2141281959 aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-1-1\"><img alt=\"Kirk McKeand Avatar\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image profile-thumb-img jsx-249361588 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/oystatic.ignimgs.com\/src\/core\/img\/social\/avatars\/ign.jpg?crop=1%3A1&amp;width=56&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 1x, https:\/\/oystatic.ignimgs.com\/src\/core\/img\/social\/avatars\/ign.jpg?crop=1%3A1&amp;width=56&amp;dpr=2&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 2x\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"stack jsx-2509706801 jsx-3630940851\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"interface jsx-1132626198 sign-off-text\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Kirk McKeand is a Contributor on IGN News.
