Helldivers 2 launched needing roughly 100 GB on PC, and the Steam storage requirement has since grown to about 135 GB as post-launch updates, new enemy factions, warbonds and content have been layered on - a normal pattern for a live-service game. The PS5 version sits in a comparable ~100+ GB range. There are no optional asset packs to trim, so plan for the full footprint plus room for future patches. An SSD is strongly recommended (and effectively expected at recommended settings) because the game streams large environments and benefits from faster load-ins between missions. Exact numbers drift with each patch and differ slightly by platform and region, so treat these as approximate current figures rather than a fixed value; check your storefront for the live download size before installing.
