What Is the STALKER 2 File Size

According to STALKER 2’s PC system requirements, the game will take up to 150 GB of storage on your device’s SSD. However, the download size for the game is 146.5 GB. Given the open-world structure of STALKER 2, coupled with it being built using Unreal Engine 5, the 100+ GB file size isn’t particularly surprising. It should be noted that the game is technically playable from an HDD.

However, developer GSC Game World highly recommends installing STALKER 2 on an SSD to minimize potential performance-related issues. The 146.5 GB download also includes all the Deluxe and Ultimate Edition add-ons as well.
