The game continues to use the unpacking method even after 8 months of playing.
Hello. The purchase of Grand Theft Auto V on Steam has raised questions about storage needs. Reports suggest the game downloads full-sized data and then unpacks it, leading to a large file size—often exceeding 120GB. This implies that users with limited storage might face challenges. The issue appears to have emerged around April 2015 when the game was released for PC. Does this situation still apply? Would the game require more than 120GB of space to install, or can it be run on a 120GB SSD without unpacking? Thanks for your understanding.
It seems you're clarifying that the issue only impacts those who pre-loaded GTAV hours before release on April 13th or 14th, while others who purchased it eight months later should be unaffected. You also mentioned avoiding unnecessary purchases like HDDs just for this game.
