You’re going to need a lot of extra storage space on your console if you’re planning to play Grand Theft Auto VI later this month. Rockstar Games confirmed on Tuesday that the pre-load file will require up to 212GB “depending on your device.”

Rockstar says you can start pre-loading the game on the PlayStation 5 on Tuesday, November 10th at midnight in your local time zone, while users on Xbox Series X | S devices can start pre-loading on November 10th at 12AM GMT. The company says to “make sure you’ve got ample space to begin pre-loading as soon as possible.” Rockstar also posted a support page with more information about pre-loading the game.

The announcement lines up with recent rumors suggesting that the game could take up a significant amount of storage space. GTA VI launches on November 19th for $79.99 and is only available via digital download. Physical versions of the game will include just a code in the box.
