How big is Horizon Forbidden West on PC?
The PC requirements ask for 150 GB of free SSD space, but that includes room to decompress the installer. The download is around 96-98 GB, and once installed the game occupies roughly 122 GB. An SSD is mandatory, and the Burning Shores expansion is already included in the Complete Edition, so there is no extra DLC download.
