Why Transfer GTA V to Another Drive

Grand Theft Auto V is an action-adventure game developed by Rockstar in 2013. In this game, players will start their adventure in Los Santos, a dangerous city of crime and opportunity. This game is very popular. However, GTA V takes up a comparable 72GB of storage space. Over time, more junk files, such as cache cookies and files, may be generated while you play.

Some users think it is possible to redownload the game directly to another drive.
