Elden Ring's file size isn't out of this world — unlike FromSoftware's usually twisted setting. It's far more reasonable than talking pots and Lovecraftian snake men. According to a recent update on Xbox Store (as spotted by GamingBolt), you only have to download 50GB of data to enjoy a journey to Lands Between.
We still don't know anything about Elden Ring's file size on PC or PlayStation, but it'll likely be a similar install. Nonetheless, there's always the day one patch to bolster that number, so be prepared for something a little bigger than 50GB. We already know there's an update planned which will add ray-tracing, after all.
All in all, 50GB seems pretty standard for a modern triple-A project, although the studio's previous endeavour, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, is only 13GB on Xbox platforms. However, Elden Ring has a Breath of the Wild-inspired open-world with horseback riding, so we already know the reason behind the increased demand for free space. It's not as linear as FromSoftware's past outings.

FromSoftware plans to launch Elden Ring on February 25 next year while the game's network test is happening from November 12. It's looking to be a stacked month for games if everything sticks, but whether everything does is another matter entirely.
