I am unsure I’ve ever seen an unreleased online game generate extra nervousness on the web than Grand Theft Auto VI.
That is precisely what occurred this week, as a doctored screenshot of the sport’s Xbox Retailer web page that includes a laughably massive file dimension went viral on the positioning previously generally known as Twitter. Consumer @TheCanadianGTR posted the picture early on Christmas Eve, claiming that the sport would have a storage footprint of 676.7GB on an Xbox console.

The indicators that that is pretend are quite a few and apparent. For starters, the official Xbox storefront web page for the sport would not checklist a storage dimension in any respect. That is possible attributable to the truth that GTA VI is not launching for an additional yr; it’s totally potential Rockstar Video games would not even know what the file dimension can be but. Past that, whereas some greater video games like latest Name of Responsibility releases have approached 200GB in dimension, completely nothing at this level has even come near 600GB, which is kind of the whole lot of the practical exhausting drive area on a base PS5 or Xbox console. GTA VI might be going to be massive, however I can assure that it will not be triple the dimensions of the most important current big-budget video games.
Mashable Prime Tales
Oh, and the screenshot is clearly a 6-7 joke, so there’s that, too.
Anyway, regardless of all of these indicators, X customers are nonetheless freaking out, even on the time of publication.

That is an object lesson in “do not consider every thing you see on the web.” Simply keep in mind that will probably be at the least a yr or so earlier than any of us are taking part in GTA VI, and in that point, lots of BS will seem on-line about it. If it did not come from Rockstar itself, it is most likely not price participating with.
