There was also some confusion, as this addition to the Microsoft Store included the ability to pre-download Grand Theft Auto 6. However, the download for this is only 328.76 MB, well below an expected minimum of 150 GB. Attempting to launch the game after this download only brings up the cover art for the game before closing the application.
Despite the Xbox store update, there are still plenty of details gamers don’t know about Grand Theft Auto 6. That includes the exact size of the game, the price of the game, or any of its PC specifications. More of these details will be revealed in the lead-up to its launch.
