GTA 6 has been a hot topic of discussion even before Rockstar Games rolled out its first trailer in December 2023. The video also paved the way for numerous rumors floating around the community. Fans have been coming up with new ones with each passing day and it can be tricky to keep up with each one of them, especially if you haven't stayed up to date with everything that's been happening.

Fortunately, not every rumor is worth keeping an eye on since most of them lack substance and are pure speculation without any solid proof. However, some are rather interesting and worth knowing about.

In this article, we will check out some of these interesting GTA 6 rumors circulating in the community.


Budget, download size, and 3 other interesting GTA 6 rumors you should know about

1) Budget

There are tons of rumors about the GTA 6 budget and naturally so since the first official trailer was incredible. It had stunning graphics and details leading the community to believe that Rockstar Games had spent a huge sum of money into making the game.

Among them, the biggest rumor is that the GTA 6 budget is around $2 billion. This is a ridiculously huge amount but fans are sure that Rockstar has allocated this resource to the upcoming title.

Considering Grand Theft Auto 6 has been under development for quite some time, it is possible that the studio might have spent this much money on the game. However, there is no actual proof of it so far.


2) Download size of the game

The next big rumor surrounding GTA 6 is the download size of the game. Soon after the first trailer rolled out, fans were stunned by its quality and started discussing the size of the game when it becomes available for download.

They were concerned that GTA 6 might be around 300 GB+ since the graphics and textures are expected to be next level. This is a fair assumption but 300 GB+ is huge for a video game. However, considering the bloated file sizes of the games currently rolling out, it won't be too surprising if players would need to empty their disks before installing GTA 6.


3) The game's release date
