Storage, headsets, and other launch kit
A launch this large is often the moment people finally buy more storage or a better headset. This page sticks to official space figures and general, honest advice — not invented benchmarks or “best in slot” claims.

Storage comes first
Sony’s official pre-load guidance is specific: clear a minimum of 212GB on the PlayStation 5. That is a floor, not a “nice to have”, and later updates can add to it. We do not have an official Xbox install size to quote, but you should expect a similarly substantial download and check the figure the Microsoft Store or console shows before you start.
If your console is already full of other games, you have three honest options: delete titles you can re-download, move games you still want, or add storage that the console maker lists as compatible. Do not assume a random USB drive will do the same job as internal or official expansion storage — check the manufacturer’s current storage pages.
- PlayStation 5 — Sony documents official storage upgrades, including compatible internal expansion. Its Grand Theft Auto VI page also points to those options if you need extra space.
- Xbox Series X|S — Microsoft sells and documents official storage expansion for these consoles. Use that guidance, not a guess from this fan site, when you choose a card or drive.
GAME’s Grand Theft Auto VI hub was also listing console storage when we looked on 10 November 2026, which is a convenient place to compare UK stock — but read the compatibility line on each product, and ignore any implication from us that a named drive is “required”.
Headsets and comfort
You do not need a new headset to play. If you already have something comfortable that your console supports, use it. If you are buying, judge on fit, microphone quality if you want it, and official compatibility with PS5, Xbox, or both — not on unverified claims about how a particular game will sound.
Sony’s own pre-load page mentions first-party accessories, including the DualSense Edge wireless controller and PlayStation Pulse wireless headset, as optional ways to personalise the setup. Those are official options, not a recommendation that you must buy them, and we are not attaching prices we have not verified on a live product page.
