GTA 6 Preload Data Sparks Fan Speculation About Online Mode and PS5 Pro Support
GTA 6 preload file data: Fans scanning the newly released preload files have found clues about game size, a possible separate GTA Online install, PS5 Pro ray tracing support, and possible regional content differences ahead of the November 19 launch.
GTA 6 preload file data, Digi Mart USA News: GTA 6 preloads are now live for players in New Zealand, and fans are scanning the game files for new information. The files are encrypted, so they reveal only limited details.
The most notable finding concerns storage. Rockstar has said GTA 6 requires up to 212 GB, depending on the device.
Following the preload release, it was reported that the audio file alone is 22 GB.
Another fan believes that because story content is separated from the main game files, the next version of GTA Online may be handled the same way. That would suggest players could eventually install single-player and online modes separately.
An account focused on reporting PlayStation game file sizes also noticed an “intentType”: “launchMultiplayerActivity” entry, which seemingly points to GTA Online’s eventual appearance in GTA 6. Rockstar has not officially confirmed GTA Online for GTA 6, although the continued success of GTA 5’s online component suggests it is likely at some point.
A file named “core_restofworld001” is reportedly missing from the Australia and New Zealand version of GTA 6, which may suggest that some content was cut in those regions. Another fan found that BVH8 support is included in the files.
BVH8 improves ray tracing performance on PS5 Pro, and Ubisoft used it for Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ PS5 Pro support.
Ubisoft previously said that BVH8 support on PS5 Pro allowed it to speed up GPU tasks involving hardware ray tracing by about 300%. Sony has confirmed that GTA 6 will feature “PS5 Pro Enhanced Support,” but has not explained what that means.
Rockstar has also not announced resolution or frame rate details for any platform.
Some players hoping for higher frame rates may be disappointed. According to experts, GTA 6 is unlikely to exceed 30 fps on any platform because of its ray tracing and physics simulations.
GTA 6 launches on November 19. Limited GTA 6 merchandise is also available from Selfridges, though it is selling out quickly.
