The Evil Within will require 40GB of HDD storage space on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, Bethesda has confirmed. The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions will also require a mandatory 7GB installation.

The install sizes were revealed alongside the recommended system specs for the PC version of Mikami’s upcoming horror, which suggests players have a GeForce GTX 670 or equivalent with at least 4GBs of VRAM.

Recommended PC System Specifications:

  • 64-bit Windows 7/Windows 8
  • i7 with four plus cores
  • 4 GBs RAM
  • 50 GB of hard drive space
  • GeForce GTX 670 or equivalent with 4GBs of VRAM
  • High Speed Internet Connection
  • Steam account and activation

While minimum specs have not been released, Bethesda warns that it “cannot guarantee optimal performance” on any PC below the above requirements.

The large console install shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise: previous ID Tech titles have often required large installs, with Wolfenstein: The New Order requiring a similar amount of space earlier in the year. 2011 FPS RAGE also shipped on 3 discs on Xbox 360.

Bethesda announced that The Evil Within had gone gold yesterday, with the game due to ship on October 14.
