There is a leaker out there spilling some GTA 6 information that points to it being way more expansive than other GTA games. It's important for gamers to hear about this because it indicates that the next big Rockstar Games release is going to be a major time and storage commitment.
Leaker claims 201 missions and 230 GB size, but accuracy is doubtful
The leaks are coming from the X (formerly Twitter) account of a user named remus_r. The leaker claims that there will be 201 main story missions in the game. This would include two prologues, an epilogue, and nine chapters.
It sounds like there could be two different stories for protagonists Jason and Lucia during the prologue missions. It's also possible that flashbacks will be used to show Jason's military life. This is how expansive and complicated it sounds like the story campaign will be.
There's also some contradictory information about the size of the GTA 6 game. The leaker previously claimed that the game would take up 230 GB of storage. However, official game pre-load information listed the size as 210 GB. The leaker clarified that it will be 230 GB once you've downloaded the day one patch.
Take these specifics with a grain of salt. The leaker is not known for being completely accurate. The leaker's claims about the full game size (in terms of how much space it takes up) turned out to be somewhat incorrect. There is no source code or official information about these mission numbers just yet.

Two hundred missions means the engine needs to handle massive state changes. The storage footprint will likely grow with each narrative branch.
If there are two prologues for Jason and Lucia, does the game lock the other character until the first part finishes? I need to know if I can play as Lucia immediately.
Usually Rockstar keeps the narrative linear. You will likely finish one arc before unlocking the other perspective.
230 GB is brutal for my storage. I will only buy this if the map is actually worth the space.
The leaker got the pre-load size wrong last time. Do not trust the 201 mission count until Rockstar confirms it.
I prefer games with tighter pacing. Grand Theft Auto V had too many filler side missions for my taste.
flashbacks for jason’s military past sounds cool but maybe redundant tbh
Will the nine chapters follow a strict order or can I jump around? I hate waiting for the next section to open.
