How much space does the base game take up?

[ALoadOfGuff]

So, recently I was going through my Steam library when I noticed that I had a copy of Payday 2 that was gifted to me. I only got 243 GB left on my PC and everyone has told me that it's big.

Can I get a more specific answer then "big"?

Also, I don't really plan on getting the DLC

About 60 gigs and dlcs wont take up space they are included in the base game you just need to buy them

30-40 gb. When the Payday is updating, he will take 40 gb of your free space for unpacking and after it will give it back to you.

My folder currently says 40GB.

Basicly saying, Keep 70-80 go for the game when you take into account the space it needs to update. Huge yes.... but compared to the unholy abobination the game used to be when it wasnt compressed like this... its already better

So, I guess I shouldn't install it with my 243 GB of space left? Just want to note that I also make YT videos on this computer too if that changes anything.

Use common sense. If you think you can live with 160 gb left. install it. if not dont... can't really help you there. You got the info now, up to you to decide.

You should maybe get an external hard drive then for your videos. Makes things so much easier.

The game itself takes around 40GB. Updates take from 32 to 39, depending on how big they are.

Basically, you should always have 40GB free if you want to update the game.

Wait, is every update ~35 GB? or does it need 40 GB just to update at any time?

Big updates are around 1GB. It only needs the 40GB for the update, due to the awkward way of updating this game has.

Honestly, my videos don't take up alot of space on my computer (Probably cause they're 480p). The biggest one is 159 MB. So, I should have no problem with having an extra 40GB
