Gears of War: E-Day PC Install Size Is 115GB, Requires SSD
Gears of War: E-Day will take up 115GB on PC and require an SSD. Preloading starts September 29, with five-day early access for Premium and Collector's Edition buyers.
Gears of War: E-Day will require 115GB of storage on PC, according to GameSpot. The game also requires a solid-state drive on PC, meaning players will need to install it on an SSD rather than a traditional hard drive.
Preloading for the game begins on September 29 at 11 AM ET. Players who purchase the Premium or Collector's Edition will get five-day early access starting October 1 at 11 AM ET.
For comparison, Gears 5 required 80GB of storage when it released in 2019. The jump to 115GB reflects the larger scope of E-Day, which is set before the events of the original Gears of War.
What players need to know
PC players should check their available drive space and confirm they have an SSD before preloading begins. The early access period gives Premium and Collector's Edition buyers a head start ahead of the full launch.
