Assassin’s Creed Shadows File Size Revealed

Summary

Assassin’s Creed Shadows looks to be the biggest game in the series’ history, at least as far as file size is concerned.
According to the Apple App Store, it clocks in at 123GB, a huge leap from Valhalla’s 50GB at launch.

According to the Apple App Store, Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be the biggest game in the series’ history by a wide margin, with a file size of 123GB.

At launch, Origins was just 42.3GB, whereas Odyssey was a little bigger at 45GB. Even the infamously huge Valhalla only clocked in at a surprising 50GB. They have all ballooned in size thanks to regular updates and expansive story DLC: Valhalla surpasses Shadows right now with a download size of 158GB. So, with expansions already confirmed, AC Shadows will only continue to get bigger.

The file sizes will inevitably vary between macOS, Windows, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.

It’s worth keeping in mind, however, that Valhalla received a post-launch update that reduced its file size, and Shadows may follow suit. But for the time being, it appears to be a major leap in download size compared to past games. You might want to clear out your SSD ahead of next month, just to be on the safe side.
