Baldur’s Gate 3 game file size

Baldur’s Gate 3 devs revealed that players will need 150GB of free space to install the game. With the campaign length touching triple digits, it is expected for the game to take over 100 GB of space on a PC.

However, Michael Douse, Director of Publishing at Larian Studios, confirmed players will only need 80GB of free space, although it’d be best to have more room for the game to work smoothly. “We like you having at least 150GB because that’s just good for you,” he stated.
