Planning 125 GB of SSD Space

Confirmed evidence

Steam’s minimum table specifies 125 GB available space and separately states that an SSD is required. Available-space requirements are not the same as compressed download size and do not reveal how much temporary installation space or launch-day patch capacity a store client may need.

How to make the decision

A drive showing exactly 125 GB free is a fragile plan. Operating systems, shader caches and future updates compete for room, and many SSDs perform better when not filled to capacity. Choose a library with a practical buffer rather than treating the published number as a target to hit exactly.

Evidence boundary

Bandai Namco has not published preload size, installed file breakdown, patch size, optional language-pack size or whether campaign and Online components can be installed separately.

Verification checklist

1. Check the actual free space in Windows, select an SSD library, reserve a buffer beyond 125 GB, and recheck Steam’s requirement near preload. Do not label 125 GB as the download size.
2. Keep mode, platform, edition and account entitlements separate when applying this answer.
3. Recheck the linked primary source after a store update, online-mode reveal or launch patch.
