PlayStation Direct, the official preorder page, indicates thatGran Turismo 7will require 110GB of storage space at the bare minimum for both the PS4 and PS5.

Interestingly, one Twitter account that keeps track of the backend data of the PlayStation stores states that the PS5 version of the game is 89.445GB.
