How many GB is Battlefield 3?

20 GB

That makes it bigger than 79% of Shooter games we have measured.

The median Shooter game needs 4 GB; the largest tenth start at 40 GB.

Leave at least 29 GB free: games need headroom to unpack updates.

The figure is the storage Steam lists as required for this game, not a measured download.

In Battlefield 3, players step into the role of the elite U.S. Marines. As the first boots on the ground, players will experience heart-pounding missions across diverse locations including Paris, Tehran and New York. As a U.S. Marine in the field, periods of tension and anticipation are punctuated by moments of complete chaos. As bullets whiz by, as walls crumble, as explosions force players to the ground, the battlefield feels more alive and interactive than ever before.
