Well, better to know what to do and what not to do before the game comes out, as Rockstar, in a response to a question on Twitter, is advising players to not install Grand Theft Auto V‘s ‘Play’ disc to the 360 Hard Drive. If you weren’t aware already, GTAV comes on two discs on the Xbox 360, one that requires an install and another that allows you to play the game. Normally, installing a game helps with load times and performance, but in the case of GTAV, it would seem that installing the ‘Play’ disc will have a negative affect on the game’s performance.
Said Rockstar, “For optimal performance, we recommend not installing that disc. We will have more info on our Support Site at launch.”
GTAV comes out in less than 12 hours. So in your haste to play the game, remember this little piece of advice from Rockstar.
