If you want to play Marvel Rivals, you will have to reserve more than 100 GB of space for it. The free-to-play hero shooter ballooned to this size in less than a year after its release. The latest update, which was released on October 16, helped it reach this not-so-glorious milestone.
While this size is usually not a big deal for PC players, it’s not ideal for consoles. After all, PlayStation 5 has under 700 GB of usable space, and it’s only going to get worse. The size of Marvel Rivals is a far cry from the size the game had in December 2024, back when it required significantly less storage.
How Much Disk Space Does Marvel Rivals Require?
As of Season 4.5, Marvel Rivals takes up over 100 GB on PC. The installation size is smaller on consoles, but it is still growing rapidly. This growth makes us wonder how much the game will weigh in the future, as NetEase has big plans for it.
In December 2024, the game required approximately 35 GB on gaming consoles, while PC players needed to reserve just under 50 gigs. Fast forward 10 months, and the size has already doubled.
The Epic Games Store version of the game currently sits at 108.4 GB, which is quite massive. We must keep in mind that the hero shooter is only 10 months old, yet it’s already much larger than many other games. The latest update arrived on October 16, and despite weighing over 16 gigs, it added almost no new content. Fun, right?
Next time you decide to buy a skin in Marvel Rivals, think twice! You may be better off upgrading your gaming system’s storage to accommodate all the new content. The game’s developer is a week away from releasing another update, which probably means another “tiny” 30 GB patch that adds new cosmetics and an extra tree on the Yggdrasill Path map.
At this rate, by 2026, Marvel Rivals might need its own SSD just to boot up.
