My home desktop only has 500GB(!!) and before today it had a little more than 100GB left. I’ve been downloading BG3 last several hours and guess how much space is left😭

I’m not into gaming much and the only other large game that’s installed is WoW, and those two games occupy ~300GB.

That made me realize, for those who enjoy gaming, it must require a lot of storage to play AAA games, etc. How much storage do y’all have on your PC/consoles?

*edit: it doesn’t have to be for gaming only!

    If it’s a pre-built there probably isn’t one that existed that’s good enough to run BG3 that only would have come with just a 500GB and if it’s a self built one I feel like almost no one would have built something recent enough to run bg3 and still would have just installed a single 500GB drive. 500GB was on the low end of custom builds a decade ago.

      You know that you don’t have to replace every single component in your PC every time you upgrade something, right?

      And no, 500 GB (SSD) was the low end fairly recently. Heck, it’s still fair enough nowadays, I have a half-empty 1 TB drive and could easily bring that down to 350-400 GB.

        Yes, but I know that if you had to upgrade your vid card in the past 5 years you probably had to also upgrade at least your psu and if you went beyond that then yes, upgrade pretty much everything.
