How long will you take to download GTA V? Discover here.

[ghml]

Grand Theft Auto V will be about 65Gb in size, but as Steam compresses files, I considered a 50Gb file.

This table shows the avarage download time based on the most common connection types, with a realistic 50% overhead:

The connection speed is expressed in kilobits and megabits per second.


Connection Type...............Connection Speed...............Average Time

Modem..............................56,6 kbps............................124 days
ADSL................................256 kbps..............................27 days
ADSL................................512 kbps..............................14 days
ADSL/Cable......................01 Mbps...............................07 days
ADSL/Cable......................02 Mbps...............................3.4 days
ADSL/Cable/Fiber.............10 Mbps...............................16 hours 40 minutes
Cable/Fiber.......................25 Mbps...............................6 hours 30 minutes
Cable/Fiber.......................51 Mbps...............................3 hours 16 minutes
Cable/Fiber/LAN...............100 Mbps.............................01 hour 40 minutes
Cable/Fiber/LAN...............155 Mbps.............................01 hour 04 minutes

Damn ^^ But better than 56,6KB/s (° ͡ ͜ ͡ʖ ͡ °)

Do you think that the steam servers will have problems when we all can pre load GTA V ? Many people will download it ...

[ghml]

I guess not. They are (or, at least, they should be) prepared for that. There have been a lot of releases and pre-loads in the past years without reports of speed issues.

Their option would be buying the disc/retail copy. Or upgrading their Internet Plan, if available.

Yeah, me too. The sooner we start our pre-loading, the better are our chances. I hope I am informed about the pre-loading soon as it become available.

Well, in the meantime of downloading it, just make a Social Club account instead of wasting time later: socialclub.rockstargames.com
