How many GB is Starbound?

3 GB

That makes it bigger than 64% of Platform games we have measured.

The median Platform game needs 1 GB; the largest tenth start at 10 GB.

Leave at least 9 GB free: games need headroom to unpack updates.

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

You’ve fled your home, only to find yourself lost in space with a damaged ship. Your only option is to beam down to the planet below and gather the resources you need to repair your ship and set off to explore the vast, infinite universe… In Starbound, you create your own story - there’s no wrong way to play! You may choose to save the universe from the forces that destroyed your home, uncovering greater galactic mysteries in the process, or you may wish to forego a heroic journey entirely in favor of colonizing uncharted planets.
