Before Fallout 76 is even launched we now know that a patch is required to 'fix' the game and it's not going to be a two minute download. Some users with download caps will struggle to keep up as this 'patch' is almost the same size as the original game.
So, if you cleared out just enough space to load the game you'll have to find a lot more... It's arriving on ALL platform with the PS4 version the largest at 47GB (initial game download was 53GB) once the patch is applied you'll need almost double the space of the original game, not that's big!
PC and Xbox owners patch is only 15GB.
In just two weeks the game has gone from a 53GB install to nearly 100GB (RDR 2 is 108GB) If you've bought them bother you may need a bigger HDD.
"This update will be large compared to what we expect for patches going forward." Bethesda have said this, prior to releasing, update - so that's OK then!
Here's the patch notes
