Unconfirmed: treat this as a rumor until Rockstar confirms it.
Unconfirmed: PCQuest reports that the GTA 6 PS5 pre-load needs firmware 14.22 to run and that the package weighs 222.9 GB. Treat both numbers as a rumor until Rockstar says otherwise.
What the leak claims
According to PCQuest, two details stand out:
- The PS5 pre-load requires system firmware 14.22 to run.
- The package is reportedly 222.9 GB.
If accurate, the firmware requirement would mean players need to be on that version before the pre-load can work. The file size is the number most players will plan around, since it sets how much free storage you need before launch.
Where it comes from
The claim comes from a PCQuest article published on November 9, 2026. The headline is the main detail we have. No named source, leaked file or screenshot is attached to it in the report we reviewed, and PCQuest's track record on GTA leaks is not stated there.
How credible it is
Specific numbers like a firmware version and an exact file size are harder to make up than vague rumors, which is why this one is worth watching. But specifics alone do not confirm anything. Pre-loads are usually set up by the platform store and the publisher, so the real test is an official listing or a working download.
Nothing in the report we reviewed contradicts the numbers, and nothing confirms them either.
What Rockstar has said
Rockstar has not commented on a GTA 6 PS5 pre-load, firmware requirement or package size. Until it does, the only official word on GTA 6 is the game's release on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
