Nov 27, 2017 - I recently bought the GOTY and I'd like to Ask for people who bought the game. Does the download size only 31gb? I'm kinda surprised. Fallout 4‘s install size on Xbox One has been outed by a the game’s page on the official Xbox store.According to the listing, Bethesda’s hotly anticipated post-nuclear RPG will require 28.12 GB of hard drive space. Fallout 4‘s install size on Xbox One has been outed by a the game’s page on the official Xbox store. According to the listing, Bethesda’s hotly anticipated post-nuclear RPG will require 28.12 GB of.
At just a hair over 28GB, the game will take up less space than The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which weighs in at 31.72GB, and far, far behind Grand Theft Auto 5, which takes up 49.03GB of space on the Xbox One hard drive.
That size probably won't exactly match the sizes of the other versions of the game. For example, GTA 5 on PC is 65GB and a retail, physical version of the game sold in some markets takes up an astonishing 7 discs of space.
While the game's file size is definitely big, it's maybe not as big as you were expecting. Compression techniques and clever use of assets could certainly help compact the game. A decent chunk of that 28GB will be dedicated to dialogue, as Fallout 4 has more spoken lines than Skyrim and Fallout 3 combined.

The game's share of your hard drive will increase over time, as Bethesda has said regular updates will be part of Fallout 4, updates that add new features in a similar vein to Skyrim.
While no size is listed in the PlayStation store, it's probably safe to assume it won't be much different. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is only 1GB larger on Xbox One than it is on PS4, for example.
