How big is the Destiny 2 The Final Shape update? Complete expansion size and release date explored

Destiny 2 The Final Shape will be the title's biggest patch to date, as it is bringing new content for all departments. From a fresh open-world region to a new subclass, enemy factions, story missions, and a lot more, it is evident that Bungie is deploying a hefty patch in terms of its size.

To give an idea, PC players on Steam can expect the game size to be 299 GB after installing the update. This is after downloading 155 GB worth of data. 299 GB is the figure you get after pre-loading the new 8.0.0.1 patch on top of the game's existing 144 GB size on Steam. The size of the title after installing the update can be expected to reduce.

This size varies across different platforms, be it PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and more.

Looking at how big the PC game file sizes are, it is recommended that players uninstall the entire title and download everything from scratch once the 8.0.0.1 patch is available for download. This will ensure a smooth installation of a major expansion and no file-related conflict.
