The developer also clarified what fans can expect for a file size on console. Players will need about 50 GB of free space on PS4 and PS5. Presumably this is about the same on Xbox, which is already available for pre-load. Pre-loading on PlayStation begins 48 hours before the game releases, while there is no word yet on if pre-loading will be supported on Steam.
We recommend having around 50 GB of available storage for PS4/PS5
