    2TB SSDs are going for as little as $60 right now. This isn't much of a problem anymore.

      I bet it’s much higher than that. 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.

  game’s size on PC is 139.84 GB

  Preload for Steam users will start on August 30 and require 125 GB of free space
