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.
