How much disk space is requiered for Elite: Dangerous?

Hello everyone! I would like to know how much disk space Elite: Dangerous need to be currently installed. And are there any plans for the size of the final version?

I hope that you help me. Thanks. :)
 
ED is currently taking up exactly 2.5GB on my disk. It will definitely increase over time. No doubt about that. There are many more assets we've yet to see before and after gamma release.

I'm more interesting in WHY this question is asked. games these days have grown in size (20-30 GB downloads etc) but Hard Disk Drives are very big compared to 20 years ago, it's cheap to buy 2 TB of space.

But I concur, ED is taking up 2.51 GB of my space. as for final version, now are you asking final version at release or final version after all expansions over the next X years?

I asked the same question before I downloaded the game. This is because I currently use MIFI internet (fast mobile broadband). It's fast, but bandwidth usage is limited. Most games these days take more than 8-10GB and I wouldn't have been able to download it in that case; I would have needed to download it elsewhere.

So it's useful to know beforehand. As it stands, ED is tiny comparatively. So I downloaded it :)

Many thanks for explaining. I apologies, but I don't have a decent mobile (never use one) so I just use PC to download and play games on. Hence the reason I was wondering. Always interested to know. (going away now to quickly google MIFI ) :smilie:

It's only because I don't have landline internet here. I'm moving at some point and woo be getting 150mbit optical then :)

Mifi is a mobile Internet dongle but it's much faster than standard dongles and can also be used as a Wi-Fi device.

Yeah we use them at work as access points for a public/customer network that then piggybacks over the corporate network. They're alright as far as I can tell from the network guys.

You'll love that fibre once you've got it though. :)
 
Thank you all for the answers! :D

I asked for two reasons: my internet is VERY slow and I am currently with little disk space. xD

I know that after being released, the size will always be increased. But I'm glad the game is so light now.
 
Sorry for necro but was wondering if the reported hdd usage (two and a half gigs) has increased since, and if so how much space does the game take now?
