Ahead of the big 100 GB pull, check storage space, enable Smart Access Memory, and maintain your Steam login secured.
Rockstar Games offers the official GTA 5 full version download via the Rockstar Games Launcher. By making a free profile, navigate to the marketplace, purchase or redeem, then start the ≈ 101 GB download—with built-in checksum validation for tamper-proof installation. Experimental VR mods consume RTX 4090 class and 70 % extra bandwidth during install since custom eye-buffers are large. Ultra-HD fans must free over 120 GB because Photoreal Reshade add an extra 24 GB. The Steam client stays a top hub for modders, because workshop tools I found it here integrate into the game directory effortlessly. GTAO currently requires an always-on connection of 7 Mbps down and 0.8 Mbps up for smooth lobbies. Bandwidth matters: GTA V base download sits around 95 GB plus post-install hotfix of 2.7 GB. Opt for downloads during off-peak to avoid throttling.
