ARC Raiders is relatively small in terms of install size for a modern extraction shooter, sitting at roughly 16–33 GB depending on platform.

File size by platform

  • PlayStation 5 : About 16.18–16.19 GB, which is strikingly compact compared with many current AAA shooters.
  • Xbox Series X/S : Roughly 29.05 GB according to official size roundups and early players.
  • PC (Steam) : Around 30–33 GB; listings and pre‑download figures show ~26–32.66 GB reserved on disk.

How that compares to other games

  • Many big online shooters now exceed 80–100 GB, so ARC Raiders is on the smaller side for its genre.
  • Community reactions on forums often highlight surprise that a visually impressive PvPvE extraction shooter can stay under ~35 GB across platforms.

Why it’s “so small”

  • Compression and asset management (for example, fewer duplicated high‑resolution textures via level‑of‑detail techniques) are commonly cited reasons by players discussing the PS5’s tiny footprint.
  • The developers seem to have prioritized a lean install so the game is easier to download and fit alongside other large titles on modern consoles and PCs.

TL;DR: If you are planning storage, allow roughly 20 GB on PS5 and around 30–35 GB on Xbox or PC for ARC Raiders to be safe.
