GTA 6's 212GB PS5 File Size Has Madden NFL 27 Worried

Grand Theft Auto VI's file size on PS5 has been revealed as 212GB, and the sheer scale of the install is already causing friction with other publishers. According to Push Square, EA has responded to the situation by publicly urging players not to delete Madden NFL 27 in order to free up space for Rockstar's open world blockbuster.

Why the install size is causing headaches

Rockstar has softened the impact of the huge download by allowing players to preload the game a week in advance of launch, which means most of the waiting can be done ahead of release day. Still, a 212GB install is a serious commitment on a PS5, especially for owners of the console's smaller storage configurations, and other game publishers are feeling the pressure. EA's plea to keep Madden NFL 27 installed is a sign of how much attention, and hard drive space, GTA 6 is expected to consume once it arrives.
