How many GB is Sword of the Stars?

3 GB

That makes it bigger than 49% of Real Time Strategy (RTS) games we have measured.

The median Real Time Strategy (RTS) game needs 3 GB; the largest tenth start at 20 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.

It is the year 2405, and human scientists have discovered a new technology, the Node Drive. This is an innovation that will finally allow travel from star to star at speeds faster than light. As mankind is poised on the brink of a new era, tragedy strikes, as the first inter-colony ship is destroyed and Earth is ravaged by an alien force. What was supposed to be the dawning of a new era instead was stymied by a grim, new reality... We are not alone...and we are no longer safe.
