I wish there was a way to find the actual download size. It says 100+ gigs in the system requirements, which actually put me off from it on a metered connection. 54 is much more doable.
On PC, the download size is 100GB, install size is 122Gb, and the devs recommend 150GB, probably for saves and potentially mods one day.
Yeah OK, that's what I thought from the specs. Thanks. Idk where OP's 54gb comes from then.
125+ here...
In retrospect I think I'm an idiot and 52 gigs was what I had available before I made more space by deleting shit.
Ignore me, I'm fairly stupid today.
No worries -- I did wonder if maybe you had it on Early Access and 52 gigs was the difference with the official release.
