Bethesda Game Studios, the Fallout and Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim developer, has created a massive RPG that will take players to the far reaches of space. You will find massive worlds, tons of factions, and beautiful stars as you explore the universe.
With how large Starfield is, Skyrim pales in comparison. Even Fallout 4, a game with a fairly large map size, is smaller compared to how big Starfield is. When the game launches, there is no doubt that you will need to prepare some extra storage space.
Will your console be able to handle the size of Starfield? Luckily, you may get early access to download it early if needed. You could possibly stream the game with Game Pass. How much space will Starfield take up exactly? Here is the download size you can expect.
Starfield – What is the file size?
The PC and Xbox Series X/S file size for Starfield is 125GB. This is according to the official Steam and Xbox/Microsoft store pages. Without updates, you can expect the game to consume around 125 GB of space from your hard drive when it releases in September.
For comparison, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, a pretty recent game, required 155GB of space to play. Starfield is definitely bigger than other Bethesda games. Past games from the developer like Skyrim Special Edition only required 12GB of available space. Even newer titles like Fallout 4 only took up 30GB.
The massive download size of Starfield isn’t unexpected as it is being marketed as of the biggest games of the year. The size of the game is similar to that of recent Call of Duty games. The game also boasts some pretty hefty PC specs that are similar to Forspoken.
Because of this large download size, we can surmise that there will be plenty to do in Starfield when it releases. Bethesda has made some pretty big promises with this game and it is one of the most anticipated games of the year.
