Games take up a lot of space on hard drives and SSDs. With Palworld climbing the popularity charts, gamers short on drive space may wonder what Palworld’s download size is to ensure they can install the game without any problems.
While building my last gaming PC, I foolishly skimped on my SSD, resulting in less gaming space. Palworld’s file size would be the ultimate decider on whether I would need to delete anything before downloading it, and luckily, it squeezed right into my remaining SSD space.
How big is Palworld’s download file size?
Steam requires players to have 40 GB of space before downloading Palworld, but the actual file sizes differ. At the time of writing, Palworld’s actual download file size is around 15 to 19 GB. You can double-check this information on SteamDB’s depot for Palworld, just above the Branches section.
Still, you should have around 40 GB of storage space available on Steam or your console so you can properly install Palworld without errors. How much space Palworld takes is likely to increase in the feature as developer Pocketpair adds more content to the game through various patches.
