How large is the file size for Doom Eternal + DLC?

[Zeekoff]

My file size reached 70+ GB, is that normal? Is it because of the DLC?

Edit: Im stuck on the bethesda launcher and Im wondering if the steam version is smaller

Look at Doom 2016 almost 70gb

It is normal.

Yeah, it was 43GB at launch, rocketed to 70 after 2 DLCs and some updates.

I'm guessing 50gb base game, the steam store page (in the minimum requirements section) says that you need 50gb of free storage.

Due to how the game's purchasing system works (ie. you can buy and play the DLC expansions without owning the regular campaign), they're embedded into the base game download.

In addition, it's also part of how the 'streamdb' files the game uses work; one streamdb file can contain assets belonging to a host of different levels[docs.google.com], so having the base game and DLC as separate downloads would not only complicate this system further, but it would also result in an even bigger disk space requirement for owners of the expansions as they would need to have duplicate assets stored across multiple streamdb files in order to separate them from the base game files.
