Baldur’s Gate 3’s huge file size explained

Larian director of publishing Michael Douse stated on Twitter that the install size of Baldur’s Gate 3 is actually around 80GB, but having 150GB free is “good for u.” That’s a weird explanation for needing to nearly double the storage requirement for your game.  If Larian is indicating that updates throughout Early Access will push the game upwards toward 150GB, then that’s understandable. But why not just say that? Here are the current updated requirements for Baldur’s Gate 3 needed to run the game: Minimum:
