Have you ever wondered which video games claim the most real estate on your console or PC’s storage media post-installation? Which ones require you to make the most room for them to comfortably settle in?
Renowned gaming outlet Twinfinite has recently conducted this intriguing investigation. As of May 11, 2023, they’ve compiled a list of the top fifteen video games with the largest installation sizes. The figures associated with these gaming giants are nothing short of astronomical.
The list predominantly features games from the PS4 / Xbox One era, although several newer entries, like Forspoken and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, have also made the cut.
A New Record Holder
However, the undisputed champion of storage space consumption is Ark: Survival Evolved. This game stands head and shoulders above the rest, requiring a staggering 400GB of space. To put it into perspective, Ark: Survival Evolved requires more than twice the storage of the runner-up on this list.

Without further ado, here is the complete ranking of the video games that claim the most space on your storage devices:
- ARK: Survival Evolved – A Colossal 400 GB
