Baldur's Gate 3 does not need (yet) the 150 GB of disk space that marks the requirements

Although that’s one of the minimum requirements, installing early access will take up just over half that space.

After a week-long delay, Baldur’s Gate 3 will begin its early access phase starting next October 6. The new production from Larian Studios has already confirmed its minimum and recommended requirements on PC. Something that has not gone unnoticed is that according to the requirements, players will have to make a lot of space on their hard drive, as they indicate that they will need 150 GB. However, Michael Douse, Larian’s publishing director, has specified that the installation will be about 80 GB.

He has done so through his personal Twitter account, where he has added, however, that they have chosen to indicate that amount in the requirements for the good of the players. It does not specify if this means that as new content is added, the weight will adjust or not to the initial requirements. Do not forget that it is a product in development that still has many months to go to see the light in its full version. “The installation size is around 80GB, not 150GB. We want you to reserve at least 150GB because it is good for you,” he writes in response to a follower.
