What game takes the most space

on a computer

Video games come in all shapes and sizes– from small, independent titles spanning mere megabytes to fully-fledged AAA releases that can reach sizes in the hundreds of gigabytes– but one factor remains the same: the larger the title, the more space it takes up on a computer. While there are some titles that are almost impossible to install due to their absurdly large size, there are also some titles that stand out as taking up the most space on your computer's hard drive.

Grand Theft Auto V is one of those games. At launch, it required a full 69GB of digital storage space. This was later increased by Rockstar Games who released several updates over time which pushed its storage requirement to 111GB– making it one of the largest single-player experiences ever made. Of course, you have other games such as Red Dead Redemption II and Call of Duty Black Ops 4, both requiring upwards of 80GB of digital storage before they can run properly.

There is also Final Fantasy XIV. It requires a massive 90GB install size with its latest expansion pack "Shadowbringers", making it by far one of the most sizable games available right now for download. The sheer amount of content and graphical details available for players make this game an incredibly immersive experience, but also one which will occupy a lot of your internal storage.

Some open-world video games may even require more than 100GB worth of space; For example: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Definitive Edition comes with its 30GB base game plus a whopping 40GB worth of content in Extended Edition patch updates; leading it towards an astonishing 90GB total install size! Additionally, if you've opted for the Game of The Year Edition then you should be expecting to free up a full 120Gb worth of space solely for The Witcher 3 alone – making it hands-down one top contenders when it comes to overall data consumed within your PC's hard drive or SSD.

At times, even bigger games yet can arrive at your doorstep - specifically in regards to Online Multiplayer releases like Battlefield V or Paladins; both requiring roughly 120 GB when combined with their respective "Deluxe Editions" and additional DLC purchases that may accompany them over time! As expected from most large online multiplayer launches - these growing numbers don't take into consideration any upcoming bug fixes or content updates either; meaning deciding between Titanfall 2 or Sea Of Thieves could ultimately mean nearly tripling (or quadrupling) your current footprint if installed onto your PC system; leading us into our final heavy hitter - Sea Of Thieves!

Sea Of Thieves has grown exponentially over time - now taking roughly 123GB worth of data in order to get you starting sailing around its magnificent oceans without much hassle - making it undoubtedly headline our list when it comes down to finding out what game takes up the highest amounts space on any modern-day Windows 10 device.
