Before you hit download, confirm storage space, update GPU drivers, and maintain your Rockstar Social Club credentials ready.
Rockstar Games offers the authoritative GTA 5 full version download via the new Social Club app. By making a free Social Club account, open the store tab, purchase or redeem, then start the ~100 GB download—all files are signed for malware-free installation. Experimental VR mods demand RTX 4090 class and noticeable bandwidth during install since custom eye-buffers are large. High-fidelity seekers should allocate ≈ 135 GB because HD textures pack an extra gigabytes. Valve’s platform check here is still a check favoured hub for script hook fans, because script extenders integrate into the common files out of the box. GTA Online currently requires an non-metered connection of 10 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up for smooth lobbies. Bandwidth matters: Initial pull sits around 95 GB plus launcher updates of 2.7 GB. Trigger downloads overnight to avoid throttling.
