There are various ways to play (e.g. solo or squad rounds in Battle Royale), customized avatars, numerous weapons, and constant updates. It's no wonder more and more people of various ages are joining in on the fun.
But just how large of a file is this game and can your system of choice support it?

Fortnite is 50GB
Fortnite for PS4 right now is 9.9*GB for “Data to start” and 23.xGB for the other things . So over 30GB.
Ik
mine is asking for 63GB that’s more than half of my pc space. I don’t get it????
if you’re gonna play games on ur pc you should have at least 1tb free space… how tf is that more than half
No. Some people dont use HDDs to download games. An SSD is better and there are things such as 128 gb SSDs. He probably use an Evo SSD so thats why he doesnt have 1 tb of storage. Downloading a game on a HDD isnt good beucase an HDD is a spinning disk so it takes more time to process than a digital SSD.
Installation* of a game onto a mechanical drive is okay unless the game itself is constantly loading from disk at data rates beyond the read speed of the disk. Games that load the needed data into memory from disk at a loading screen will only see a reduction in the amount of time that loading screen is up when using a SSD vs standard HD and game play will be exactly the same as the disk is no longer relevant after load.
Same, i can download fortnite forever but when its downloaded…Error!
i love it
Why on phones its two GB and on laptop’s or pc its 30 GB
Because on phones they leave out lots of the sounds and extra things: for example there are about four different sounds for ammo box searching on PC but only one on phone.
I want to download it now but i cant
This is compelete bullshit. It’s says 6.6 initially. Then magically appears to be 31gb. Then another 9 go update

For now.. until today 21th April i have downloaded 154GB of data for the game Fortnite,that’s a lot, to think that at the beginning they said that 95gb of free space was needed on the computer, and my ssd is maximun 250gb.
74 GIG for fortnite
Fortnite in my pc have 80gb, this more than my elder scroll online which is rpg
mine asks for 81 GB on windows 10
ya me too
Mine was 40gb
Mine was 40gb now it is 90gb
Yeppers I’m at about 90GB myself as of yesterday. I added it to a third PC in my home on a 128GB SSD. This was meant mainly for my kids homework so I’m fine with it now. When I examined the files, it appears as though the .Pak files each refer to a different season of the game (maybe even a subseason). I estimate that I have just enough space for one or two more updates.
This situation is completely on Epic and the nature of the updates. No audio and video updates would take up this much space. It appears as though the updates only alter what the game reads from the files rather than replacing them.
I’m not certain if this is necessary due to cross play or if it was a simple oversight when developing the game. It would be nice if we could delete the previous iterations of the game rather than wasting space.
90 GB on PC? Yeah thats a big pass from me man
on ps4 its written 6.69 when i dowlaod it it says 35 gb and another 12 gb why
26.09.2020 – 149 Gb.
