Baldur’s Gate 3’s storage requirement somehow doubledDon’t be so worried, Volo

Don’t be so worried, Volo

How big was the drive space required to install? “It wasthisbig!” says Volo. Well maybe not that big. Bards do tend to exaggerate.Baldur’s Gate 3is launching in early access tomorrow and I thought I was all set and ready, having glanced over thoseearly access PC requirements, but it turns out that the required storage space has doubled.When Larian Studios first revealed the PC system specs forBaldur’s Gate 3, they called for 70GB of storage space. Sometime since then, they’ve gone and more than doubled the number. Over on the game’s store pages you’ll find that they now require a much heftier 150GB of available space.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settingsA Larian representativetells PC Gamerthat the current early access build is only 80GB, which, yeah, is already bigger than that originally quoted number. Presumably, Larian are leaving themselves room for the size of that build to grow throughout early access until the game’s eventual full release. Larian have previously said that the version releasing tomorrow will likely clock in around 20-25 hours of play time for a single run through act one of the story.Personally, the only reason I own a big honkin' 6TB auxiliary hard drive is for installing big honkin' RPGs. Not to mention, we recently got a gander at theraces and faces of Baldur’s Gate 3and I happened to notice that the hair styles look quite a bit nicer than in some of the other chunky RPGs I play. I won’t point any fingers, but for that hair you can have whatever space you need, BG3. Give me nice hair andhot romancesand lots of individually-designed environments to battle baddies in and I’ll take little offense at your storage space.Baldur’s Gate 3 launches tomorrow, October 6th, in early access.According to Larian, you can hop in at 6pm BST / 10am PDT. You can find it onSteam,GOG, and Google Stadia.
