      Is there any plans of supporting GPT partition table? I am trying to install RetroPie on a 5TB USB drive. This works fine, but anything over 2Tb is not accessible.

        RetroPie uses the Raspberry Pi OS Lite image - if that will support GPT for the root drive (boot + root), then RetroPie will have no issues with it.

        Since the current RPI OS images are using MBR, you'd have to re-partition your disc and copy over the files to the new partitions if you want to use GPT.
