It will be ass at first because it’s a new Bethesda game.
That said, it is possible to get an early key without actually preordering (mine came with another purchase), so I’m excited to explore all them bugs on launch.
The game’s size on PC is 139.84 GB. It’s 100.19 GB for the Standard Edition and 117.07 GB for the Premium Edition on consoles, which also comes with a digital artbook and soundtrack, skin pack, and the Shattered Space Story Expansion (when it becomes available).
Preload for Steam users will start on August 30 and require 125 GB of free space
I absolutely agree; I’m preloading it because I just have it as a Game Pass benefit anyway. Could be I end up waiting 8 months for stability patches like everyone else.

This is helpful. I’ve been confused that the base game was 100.2GB and not 125
Sure as hell won’t be preloading a Bethesda game on PC. Based on the system requirements I expect performance to be ass for a while after release.

How many players interested in this game are rockin’ a single terabyte? What’s your best guess?
p.s. You must realize that it’s actually 12.5%/13.9%, not 15%, right?
You must know that they were rounding for simplicity’s sake, yet here you are.

1 TB was standard when I was shopping for gaming laptops last year. Frankly it’s more than enough for most people and in line with the consoles.
2TB SSDs are going for as little as $60 right now. This isn’t much of a problem anymore.
Thanks for picking up where the summary dropped the ball
…shouldn’t those match?
The preloaded data could be compressed or it might not include the day 1 patch.
What is this fuckery? Unplayable day-1 DLC pre-installed and taking up space on the user’s machine? Jesus christ bethesda
I never see the point in preloading as it’ll just have a huge patch to install on release anyway.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game ship a day 1 patch that was the same size as the initial install.
100 Gb? Eh…looks very standard.
Don’t pre order. You know what happens when you pre order? A big dick in your mouth, that’s right
