Final Fantasy VII Revelation Could Need Over 200 GB of Storage
The next remake entry may set a new record for base install size, adding more pressure on console and PC storage.
According to Tom's Hardware, Final Fantasy VII Revelation might require upwards of 200 GB for its base install, which would make it the largest entry yet in the remake series. The report also notes that an additional download is needed after the main installation, meaning players will need even more free space than the headline number suggests.
For PC and console users, this is another sign that game sizes are steadily climbing. A 200 GB install forces players to manage their libraries carefully, especially on consoles with fixed internal storage. The extra download only worsens the situation, requiring both a stable connection and enough spare capacity.
While the source is a single report and not an official confirmation, the figures align with a broader trend toward larger, higher-fidelity game installs. If accurate, Final Fantasy VII Revelation will be a new benchmark for storage demands, and a useful reminder to check available disk space well before launch day.
