On September 13, the next installment of the Borderlands series will be released. In the stores for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, it has now been revealed how much storage space Borderlands 3 will require on the hard drives and what the download size of the title will be.
This storage information has been revealed: It won’t be long now until the third installment of the Borderlands series is set to launch. Borderlands 3 will be released on September 13 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
At least for the consoles, the approximate download size and the minimum storage space that the shooter will occupy on home hard drives have now been announced by the respective stores.
This is how much space Borderlands 3 needs on Xbox One: The approximate download size has been listed in the Microsoft Store as 39.98 GB. This is likely to be the minimum size. Since this is an “Xbox One X Enhanced” title, there may be additional GB required for the 4K graphics of the Xbox One X.
This is how much space Borderlands 3 needs on PS4: In the PlayStation Store, the minimum storage space has been listed at around 75 GB. The website PlayStationLifeStyle.net points out that the complete download and installation process on the PS4 usually takes up double the space on the hard drive, so it can be assumed that Borderlands 3 will be approximately the same size on both consoles.
However, the indicated size only refers to the base game. If you plan to enjoy the content that will be released after the launch of Borderlands 3, you may need to free up more space on your hard drive. A season pass and four story DLCs are planned for the third installment of the Borderlands series.
What about the PC? No memory size or system requirements for Borderlands 3 on PC have been announced yet. The game will release exclusively on the Epic Games Store for the first six months.
Finally, Epic chief Tim Sweeney announced that there will be no preload for Borderlands 3 on PC in the Epic Store. The feature does not seem to be ready for the release of the shooter yet. However, work is currently underway on additional features for the store.
