How many GB is GTA 6 on PS5?
Sony's own number is the space to clear, 212 GB. Rockstar hasn't published a download size. The 210 GB figure comes from an account that tracks PlayStation Store sizes, so treat it as a report until Rockstar or Sony says otherwise.
Clear a minimum of 212 GB of storage on your PS5 or PS5 Pro before you pre-load.

Can you play GTA 6 from an external hard drive?
No. A USB drive set up as extended storage can hold PS5 games, but they have to move back to the console before you play. An M.2 SSD inside the console is different: PS5 games install to it and run from it. See which M.2 SSD a PS5 Pro needs.
USB extended storage on PS5 needs a SuperSpeed USB 5 Gbps or faster drive of 250 GB to 8 TB, and PS5 games can't be played straight from it.
