Grand Theft Auto V’s Xbox 360 version will ship on two discs and will require a mandatory 8GB install, according to Rockstar Games.

According to Rockstar, “GTAV 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.

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.

For Xbox 360, Grand Theft Auto V will ship 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.”

GTA V’s initial install will require an Xbox 360 HDD or an external 16GB USB flash drive with at least 8 GB of free space, it must be a USB 2.0 flash drive with a minimum 15mb/s read speed.

“A new USB flash drive is recommended to ensure optimum performance. For PlayStation 3, the game ships on one disc and will install content as soon as you insert the game. The install is roughly 8GB, and players will be able to play as soon as the install is complete,” said Rockstar in a Q&A published earlier today.
