Download Destiny 2: What You Need to Know About Space Requirements

Before diving into the new content in Destiny 2: Lightfall, players need to make sure they have enough space on their console or PC. Bungie's help site has revealed the preload and install requirements for the game, and it's essential to know what you're getting yourself into.

On PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, the situation is less dire compared to other platforms. However, things get more extreme for Steam and Epic Games Store players on PC, requiring a whopping 223GB of free space to preload the game. Once installed, old files will be removed, but preloading demands having both new and old files available.

A notable difference applies to those playing the PS4 version (including those who play it on PS5). Bungie warns that an additional 80 GB of space is needed to download Lightfall. While this may seem daunting, there's a silver lining: after the update, the game will have a smaller footprint, and players can expect improved loading times.

In summary, players should be aware of these space requirements before downloading Destiny 2: Lightfall. By understanding what's needed upfront, you'll be able to enjoy the new content without any hiccups.
