The early access download size for Baldur's Gate 3 is around 63 GB. The download size is only for early access, and we can expect the full game to be higher than this.

For those who already downloaded the early access, you might only need to download additional files to play the full game. It means you won't need to download the whole 63 GB again unless they made massive changes to the older game files.

The storage space and download size for PS5 is currently unavailable. However, we can expect them to be close to the PC version, which is 150 GB of storage space and around 60-80 GB download size.

We will update this section with the exact number once they're officially out. Stay tuned!
