oofta! 150 GB install size. Definitely gotta finish RDR2 and uninstall before I move onto this, at least with the desktop rigs anyway.

 

[Grimlakin]

Yea that's a beefy install. Largest yet for me? Possibly.

Glad I bought a 4TB SSD for my main back last holiday season when SSD prices were gooooooooood

 

[Ditchinit]

The GoG install files for Horizon: Zero Dawn - Complete Edition weigh in at around 71.4 GB, but I don't have it installed to know the unpacked disk size. So I suspect there's probably a little bloat going on with the Forbidden West edition. Yes, I'm aware they're two different games, but can the developers explain the reason the new game is twice the size of the old one?

 

[Brent_Justice]

I have Horizon Zero Dawn installed right now, I've been playing through the full game (Complete Edition) here's my install in STEAM right now.

 

[Peter_Brosdahl]

I think RDR2 might be the biggest I've done yet but I could be wrong.

I think RDR2 might be the biggest I've done yet but I could be wrong.

3 biggest ones I could find that I have currently installed are BG3 at 141GB and BL3 at 138GB and WoW at 128GB

but can the developers explain the reason the new game is twice the size of the old one?

Well Diablo 3 is 16.1GB and Diablo 4 is 89.8GB thats a x5 increase si it could be worse.

 

[Grimlakin]

Looks like BG3 is my big man on campus. Mine is showing about 145gb. Most other games are a bit under 100gb that I have installed.

Outer worlds complete, Avatar, Destiny 2, 7 days to die.. Actually surprisingly Forza Horizon 5 with it's two expansions is larger. FH5 is 142gb, and the two addons are 10.8 and 17.8 gb each. Pushing that to 170gb? ****. Might need to finally uninstall that one... though I do play it for a few minutes every blue moon.

 

[Peter_Brosdahl]

Yeah, I forgot about BG3. It is a monster and I've got it installed on all 3 rigs but its on the back burner until summer.

I should really uninstall games I haven't played in over a year instead of buying more SSDs, but there is always that what if I want to play them tomorrow?

 

[Grimlakin]

You can preload the game now off of Steam FYI.

I still have a few 2TB NVMe drives that need upgrading to 4TB...

 

[DrezKill]

I got an email from Steam saying the game had been released, I was like "oh wow, so it's finally out now huh?" Of course I will be waiting for a good-@ss sale, since the game has been as low as $30 on PS5, if I recall correctly. But glad to see another Sony-exclusive release end up on PC.

Played it a bit this morning while updating some hypervisor hosts. Not a bad game at all.

 

[Peter_Brosdahl]

Sooo close to finishing RDR2 and can't wait to jump into this. I was going to wait to get it later but I don't think I can. Will probably grab tonight when I get home.

 

[MadMummy76]

I'll probably regret it but I got this, 96GB download, but haven't tried it yet.

 

[Peter_Brosdahl]

I grabbed it last night and the same, 96GB download and once installed is 122GB.

Size doesn't bother me

I played 2 hours of the game yesterday, extremely fun, and I've got a benchmark run set to use it in reviews.
