Hard Disk Space Requirements
The game's install size varies by platform, but the Apple Mac store lists it at 114.5 GB. That's a significant amount of space! Here are your options:
- Delete some existing games
- Upgrade your console or PC storage
- Transfer games to a USB drive (console users)
Transferring older generation games (PS4 or Xbox One titles) to a USB drive can free up considerable SSD space, though load times might be slightly longer.
