A previous leak suggested thatMarvel’s Spider-Man 2would require 98 GB of space, and while the final number is a bit smaller, its file size can increase with post-launch updates.

As an example,Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warcan take over 300 GBof storage, withGran Turismo 7sitting just under 200 GB. Games likeThe Elder Scrolls OnlineandStar Wars Jedi: Survivoralso require a massive amount of space, so the file size ofMarvel’s Spider-Man 2feels pretty reasonable by comparison.
