The weight of the game?

[Burgzaza]

Hi, so according to the store page, the game needs 150gb of storage, but my question is, how many Gb do you actually have to download?
I have a very slow connexion, thanks in advance.

A bit over 150.

The game's been updated a bunch since that and I guess they didn't update the store page.

I downloaded a few days ago and it was 118 gigabytes.

The store page isn't far from the real thing.
According to Steam, it's 147.22 GB on my SSD.

EDIT: huh? Apparently everyone has different size of the game. What a curious thing.

Size on the folder for me is 143 GB, but the download was 118.

My game is 143 GB big (but I recently reinstalled it because of an odd issue).

Even it doesnt matter for downloading, but it does for disk space:
+ about 6 GB for savegames and so (it will be more if you do a complete playthrough, its only a partial one for me because it was multiplayer and I was only hosting at the end, so I am missing all the savegames of the beginning and mid).

I recommend to plan with even more for savegames.

If a friend of yours has the game already, they can copy the game files on a usb stick and give it to you. That way you can shorten the installation

Yes, the download was 118GB, but I still got 147.22, instead of 143. Hmm, mods, I guess?

Mine is 147.24 with Digital Deluxe dlc and no mods.

Not necessarily. Could also be that the download is compressed while after installing some stuff gets decompressed. Plus the game might generate things ahead of time when first run or options are altered and so on, to quicken loading times for example.

But its normal that an installed game is bigger than its download was. The opposite wouldnt make much sense...

Makes sense. I also have the Digital Deluxe, should have mentioned it. That adds some to the weight.

It's called "file compression". Downloads, especially large ones, are usually compressed.

Sorry, but at this point I was wondering why there's 3 different numbers. First reply claimed slightly over 150 GB, second one 118 GB and my game took 147.22 GB of space. Compression sure, in the case of 118, but why is one decompressed copy of the game over 150 and another is under 150? Care to explain?

Mods or Leftovers from Patches.

Nope. Files are compressed when you download it. It become larger when the installer uncompress it.
