Grand Theft Auto VI installation details for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, including save data limitations and transfer methods.
Xbox 360 Installation:
This version comes on two discs. One disc must be installed onto a hard drive, and the other must be played using at least the DVD-ROM drive. Do not install both discs to the hard drive, as Rockstar advises reading data from two different sources to prevent glitches. You can install one disc to a flash drive with a high transfer rate (preferably the Install disc) and the other to the hard drive (the Play disc). The game disc still needs to be in the DVD-ROM drive for verification.
The game recognizes multiple sources for game save data (HDD, Memory Unit, USB Drive), and you can switch between them. However, you can only save fifteen saves to a single device. For multiple saves, you will need multiple devices.
PlayStation 3 Installation:
This version uses a single large-capacity Blu-Ray disc. 8GB will be installed onto the console's hard drive, with the remainder of the game played directly from the Blu-Ray drive. This results in slower loading times compared to the Xbox 360 version.
The game only recognizes one source of game save data (HDD). Saves can be archived to other devices like an SD Card via the dashboard. Similar to the Xbox 360, only fifteen saves can be stored on one device. To use an archived save, you must overwrite a save on the HDD at the dashboard before starting the game.
Transferring game saves between consoles can be problematic due to anti-tampering measures. The preferred method is using PSN's cloud server. Using other devices like an SD Card may lead to the "You did not create this game save" error if the device is not formatted by the PS3. Saves from non-PS3 formatted devices are assumed to be from third-party cheat devices and are restricted. If a device is PS3 formatted, transferring saves should be fine.
Properly formatting save devices on PS3 can only be done through the built-in media slots on original
