PS5 owners urged to upgrade storage for GTA 6's 212GB pre-load

With Grand Theft Auto VI's massive 212GB digital pre-load set to begin on November 10th, PlayStation 5 owners are being advised to upgrade their console's storage. The game's immense size necessitates additional space beyond the base PS5's capacity, prompting recommendations for NVMe SSDs that utilize the M.2 expansion slot. While PCIe 4.0 speeds are supported, Gen 5 SSDs can also be used, though they will operate at Gen 4 speeds and require a heatsink. AI
