    Don’t pre order. You know what happens when you pre order? A big dick in your mouth, that’s right

      I absolutely agree; I’m preloading it because I just have it as a Game Pass benefit anyway. Could be I end up waiting 8 months for stability patches like everyone else.

        Totally fair. Didn’t even know it was on game pass day 1.

    The game’s size on PC is 139.84 GB. It’s 100.19 GB for the Standard Edition and 117.07 GB for the Premium Edition on consoles, which also comes with a digital artbook and soundtrack, skin pack, and the Shattered Space Story Expansion (when it becomes available).

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

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

        How many players interested in this game are rockin’ a single terabyte? What’s your best guess?

      What is this fuckery? Unplayable day-1 DLC pre-installed and taking up space on the user’s machine? Jesus christ bethesda

        The preloaded data could be compressed or it might not include the day 1 patch.

    I never see the point in preloading as it’ll just have a huge patch to install on release anyway.

      I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game ship a day 1 patch that was the same size as the initial install.

    Sure as hell won’t be preloading a Bethesda game in PC. Based on the system requirements I expect performance to be ass for a while after release.

      It will be ass at first because it’s a new Bethesda game.

      That said, it is possible to get an early key without actually preordering (mine came with another purchase), so I’m excited to explore all them bugs on launch.

    100 Gb? Eh…looks very standard.

    This is helpful. I’ve been confused that the base game was 100.2GB and not 125
