Grand Theft Auto V Q&A Discusses Mandatory Installs, A Release Date, and More

Grand Theft Auto V Q&A Discusses Mandatory Installs, A Release Date, and More

Vincent Parisi 02 Jul

As the world anxiously awaits the release of Rockstar’s latest entry in the Grand Theft Auto series, the studio has done a solid job building hype for the game whilst simultaneously showing nothing in the way of gameplay footage. In their most recent installment of the Q&A session called Asked & Answered, the team discussed a few facts about what to expect from Grand Theft Auto V. In particular, the mention that the game will require a mandatory install on both consoles before players can get started.

“Grand Theft Auto V is the largest and most ambitious game we have yet created, and takes full advantage of every ounce of processing power available in the current generation of consoles,” Rockstar told fans. “In order to provide the best possible experience for such a massive and detailed world, the game will have installation requirements on both Xbox 360 and PlayStation®3 systems.” Specifically, GTAV will require an 8GB install on both consoles upon initial startup.

Getting into a bit more detail about the Xbox 360 version, Rockstar explained why the game is releasing on two discs. “Disc 1 will be used for a one-time mandatory install and Disc 2 will be used to play the game. After the install, players will be able to enjoy both Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online without any need to switch discs.” Not needing to switch discs at any point during the experience is a welcome change for those accustomed to purchasing multi-disc titles on XB360.

As mentioned earlier, a gameplay trailer has yet to be released, and the studio has been equally coy about details surrounding Grand Theft Auto Online. Fans looking for their first glimpse at either will have to hold out just a bit longer, but Rockstar assures that footage of both in action will debut later this summer.

As a final point, Rockstar additionally addressed lingering fan concerns that GTAV could potentially be delayed, stating that the game is on track for a September 17 release on both PS3 and Xbox 360. The studio has yet to make any announcements concerning a release for either PC or next-gen consoles.

Are you guys and gals excited for the release of Grand Theft Auto V? Have you kept up with the series, or are you looking to get back into it after a brief hiatus? Does anyone actually finish the story campaign of GTA titles, or do you prefer to simply drive fast and fool around in the city?

About The Author

Vincent Parisi

I guess I'm the typical, modern day nerd. I was raised right on Batman: TAS and old-school TMNT. I've been a core gamer since I was 2 years old (I was beating Mario before I could finish sentences) and haven't thought twice about it since. My favorite game genre is RPG for sure. I love the advent of channels like Nerdist and Geek and Sundry, and will never turn down an invitation to a Con. (Though I don't cosplay... yet.) I hate not owning the latest and greatest gadgets and aspire to find my place in the world of game journalism. Favorite Games: The Mass Effect trilogy, Super Mario World, the BioShock series, the Ratchet and Clank series, anything featuring Nolan North. Favorite shows: FireFly (Browncoats, unite!), Bones, Castle, Spectacular Spider-Man (RIP), Transformers Prime. Anything featuring the voice talents of Steve Blum, Gina Torres, Ashley Johnson, or Yuri Lowenthal. Favorite Comics: Amazing Spider-Man (Thanks for the memories), most things featuring Batman, any one where Green Arrow makes an appearance.
