Microsoft publishes only the nominal size of each drive. Usable space is as measured by Windows Central and TechRadar; Engadget puts the 512 GB Series S at about 362 GB. The game size is the Xbox Store's 209.86 GB, counted the way the console counts. Subtraction is ours.

Is the Series S version smaller?

No separate figure for Series S has been published. The Xbox Store shows one size for the game, and Rockstar's only qualifier is that the pre-load is "up to 212 GB depending on your device", as quoted by the press.

How to make room

  1. Check what you have: on a 512 GB Series S, the 154 GB left after GTA 6 is room for one or two other large games.
  2. Move games you are not playing to a USB drive. They cannot run from there, but moving them back is usually quicker than downloading again.
  3. Add a Storage Expansion Card if you want more games ready to play. It is the only add-on storage that runs Series X|S games.

Storage Expansion Cards

Xbox's own site lists the Seagate Storage Expansion Card in 1 TB, 2 TB and 4 TB, and the WD_BLACK C50 at up to 2 TB. Both plug into the slot on the back of the console. Details on what runs from where: Can you play GTA 6 from an external hard drive?
