Andrey "Wayfarer" Dovbysh Modern projects set high requirements for the devices they run on. A critical specification among the necessary characteristics is the amount of free memory, sufficient for installing the title. Indeed, few people want to find out that the loading process was interrupted due to a lack of memory. In such cases, one might desperately need to delete something from the internal storage to complete the installation, which is hardly pleasant.

The famous battle royale — an online project from Epic Games that has gained millions of enthusiastic fans thanks to its battle royale mode. If you haven’t joined their ranks yet but are eager to, then an important question comes to the forefront: How much GB is Fortnite? We’ll attempt to answer this question in our material.
Game size on PC

The installation file on PC is only 28.5 GB, which is quite modest for modern titles, especially online ones. This is enough to play in survival or battle royale mode with standard textures. If there is a need for additional regimes (PvE, Lego Fortnite, etc.), you’ll need about 40 of free hard disk space.
If you want to play with high-resolution textures, you can confidently add another 15-20 GB to the total volume. Consequently, the basic set with most game regimes in HD quality will occupy about 60 on PC.
What is Fortnite size on Xbox

The official game page on the Xbox website states an approximate required size of 77 GB. However, it is for the Series X/S generation with all main modes and high-resolution textures. Moreover, part of this volume will be compressed by the console's software tools upon unpacking, so the final required volume will be about 60-65.
How big is Fortnite on PS5

The situation is similar with Sony's latest generation console — the approximate volume is 77.2 GB. This figure will reduce to about 65-67 GB during the installation process, but this still means that a significant portion of the PlayStation 5's internal storage will be occupied by the online project from Epic Games.
How much Fortnite weighs on Nintendo Switch

The portable gaming console from Nintendo cannot boast the same graphics and textures available on the more advanced, home versions, which has influenced the reduction in the game file size to just 17.9 GB. This is modest compared to the console and PC versions, but it’ll occupy more than half of the storage on a 32 GB Switch and about a third on a 64 GB model. Therefore, if you want to play battle royale, an additional memory card will come in very handy!
Features that are defining Fortnite file size

We've previously noted that game modes increase the file. Here it is worth considering additional custom maps (approximately 1 GB each), character skins, object textures, localizations of translations into different languages also contribute to the size. In the event of insufficient memory, maps, texture packs can be easily deleted. Also, during the installation, you can choose just one necessary language for translation.
However, the title is regularly updated, and there's a possibility that it simply won't load correctly if there's not enough free space in storage. Therefore, we recommend leaving at least 10-15 GB free for smooth updates in automatic mode.
So, now you know how much Fortnite weighs on various devices. Use this knowledge and our advice — and enjoy the gameplay without any extra worries!
