GTA 6 Preload Reveals 212GB Install, Hints at Separate Online Mode and PS5 Pro Ray Tracing

Summary
New Zealand preloads for GTA 6 went live ahead of the Nov. 19 launch, letting fans inspect encrypted files and confirm fresh details Rockstar had not spelled out.
212GB is the reported top-end install size depending on device, with one preload breakdown showing audio alone at 22GB and story content split from core files.
That file structure, plus a "launchMultiplayerActivity" tag, has fueled expectations that GTA Online for GTA 6 will arrive later and may be installable separately from single-player.
BVH8 support also appeared in the files, strengthening Sony's earlier "PS5 Pro Enhanced" label and suggesting stronger ray-tracing performance on PS5 Pro, though Rockstar still has not given resolution or frame-rate targets.
One missing file in the Australia-New Zealand build has prompted speculation about regional cuts, while analysts still expect the game to top out at 30fps because of heavy ray tracing and physics demands.
