The PC port is unusually large, requiring about 190 GB of installation space, well beyond the console versions. That figure reflects high-resolution textures, uncompressed 4K assets, extra graphics options and multiple language audio packs shipped together. On console the PS5 build is around 84 GB in North America (larger, roughly 90-100 GB, in some EU regions due to language packs), while the PS4 version is bigger at roughly 107-118 GB because PS4 games often duplicate assets to speed up loading on a mechanical hard drive. Day-one and later patches, plus the free Valhalla DLC, add several more gigabytes on top. An SSD is strongly recommended on PC (and the game targets fast NVMe/PS5 SSD behavior), so plan for extra headroom beyond the base number for the download and its temporary unpack. To manage space, use Steam's Storage tool on PC or the PS5/PS4 storage menus; on PC you cannot easily strip out unused language assets, which is part of why the footprint is so heavy.
