VGTimes reports on findings by dataminer Tex2, who examined metadata from the PS5 preload. It shows 32 data chunks, a PS5 package of about 222.9 GB, and an Xbox Series X|S package of around 225 GB, against Rockstar's official recommendation of up to 212 GB of free space. A separate story chunk is said to weigh about 19 GB, with shared world, vehicle and weapon assets making up the rest.
The analysis also notes regional file differences, such as a missing file in the Japanese build, which the article attributes to likely regional restrictions without knowing the contents. Metadata for PS5 Pro mentions 120Hz support and a scaler version the dataminer links to a newer PSSR; the report says this does not confirm a 40 FPS mode. A size parameter of 320 GiB also appears, and its meaning is unclear.
Why it matters: it hints at how the install is organized, but this comes from unofficial metadata reading and not from Rockstar. We link to the report and do not host any game files; treat all figures as unverified.
