Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s install size is like Order 66 to your SSD

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is scheduled to launch on April 28 on PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X and Publisher Electronic Arts just revealed the substantial hardware requirements that PC players need to run the game smoothly.

While the CPU and GPU are nothing to scoff at, the amount of storage space required for this game is pretty intense. At this point, the huge install sizes for AAA titles aren’t surprising, but when every game coming into the pipeline practically needs its own SSD, it becomes a bit more challenging to find the space you need.

In comparison, the 155 GB of storage required is about three times what you needed for the previous game, the one from 2019 Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (55GB). It’s more than what you need for games like hit man 2 (149 GB with DLC), Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (133GB), or Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege (131 GB with HD texture pack). Fortunately, SSDs are regularly available at discounted prices these days, with some models such as the XPG Atom 50 offers 512 GB of space for just $39.99.

There’s no word yet on how much space Star Wars Jedi: survivor will include it on consoles, but you might want to do a quick audit of anything you haven’t played in the past week or so just to be on the safe side.
