Common questions

What are the best games that fit a 40 GB drive?

56 well-reviewed games install in 35 to 40 GB, so the largest of them still fit a 40 GB drive or cap while being substantial games rather than tiny ones. The most-played is PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS at 40 GB. Sizes are read from each game's own Steam page and are the PC download; console versions differ.

Why do install sizes change?

A game's download grows with updates and shrinks when a publisher recompresses it, so the figure here is what Steam listed when we last checked, not a permanent number. It is also the base game: large story or texture packs are separate and not counted.
