Fortnite's size varies depending on the platform and the content installed:

  • On PC, the base download size is around 22 to 36 GB, but with all game modes (Battle Royale, Save the World, Creative) and optional packs, it can grow up to 80 GB. Typically, players should reserve at least 50 GB for smooth gameplay. Major updates often add several GBs over time.
  • On PlayStation 4 and 5, Fortnite typically requires around 40 to 45 GB of storage, considering the base install and updates. Enhanced graphics on PS5 slightly increase the space needed.
  • On Xbox One and Series X/S, the installed size ranges from about 40 to 45 GB, with next-gen consoles requiring more space for optimized textures and performance.
  • On Nintendo Switch, Fortnite is smaller, about 18 to 20 GB on the original Switch, and around 38 GB on the newer Switch 2, reflecting better graphics.
  • On Android mobile devices, the initial download is roughly 8 GB, expanding to over 10 GB after installation. iOS currently does not have Fortnite available in the app store.

In summary, Fortnite requires roughly 20 GB to over 80 GB depending on platform and installation choices, with PC versions generally being the largest. Players should plan for ongoing storage increases due to frequent updates and new content.
