Those looking forward to Destiny 2: The Final Shape may need to clear out a their hard drives ahead of its June 4, 2024 release date, as Bungie has shared some hefty install sizes.
Revealed in its This Week in Destiny blog post, where Bungie also warned players of spoilers after the expansion was accidentally pushed live early for some players, The Final Shape requires around 150 GB on all platforms.
The biggest numbers come for those on PC, however, as players who already have Destiny 2 installed will essentially need double the amount of space available if they want to preload The Final Shape to play the moment it's available.
Steam players need an eyewatering 299.70 GB and the Epic Games Store needs 279.66 GB, and while these won't be the final install sizes when the game comes out and PC players can shed the old version, those looking to play the moment The Final Shape releases will need to clear up lots of space.
Other platforms aren't quite as colossal but still chunky, as the PlayStation 4 needs 110.70 GB (or 129.31 GB to preload in a similar situation as PC), PlayStation 5 needs 143.81 GB, Xbox One needs 139.52 GB, Xbox Series X and S needs 165.82 GB, and the Microsoft Store on PC needs 156.22 GB.
The Final Shape is set to be the grand finale of Destiny 2's so far 10-year saga, and Sony and Bungie have done their best to increase interest ahead of its release. This even included granting access to three major Destiny 2 expansions (and four on PlayStation) for free in the month ahead of launch.
The Final Shape was due to arrive on February 27, 2024 but suffered a delay because it needed "more time to become exactly what [Bungie] wants it to be", according to the developer's official statement.
The studio was hit with lay offs in October 2023, however, due to the underperformance of Destiny 2. This led to a "soul crushing" atmosphere at Bungie as employees said goodbye to around 100 colleagues and feared further job losses, rumored to arrive upon The Final Shape's release.
