Console Storage Check
The advertised storage isn't what you get. Here's the real picture — and whether GTA 6 fits.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PS5 Standard (1TB) | 1TB | 667GB | 210GB | 457GB | ✓ Fits (just) |
| PS5 Slim (1TB) | 1TB | 667GB | 210GB | 457GB | ✓ Fits (just) |
| Xbox Series X (1TB) | 1TB | 802GB | ~210GB | 592GB | ✓ Fits comfortably |
| Xbox Series S (512GB) | 512GB | 364GB | ~210GB | 154GB | ✗ Barely — nothing else |
* Assumes a fully empty console. Most owners have games installed — meaning GTA 6 likely won't fit without deleting something or upgrading storage.
