How many GB is Overwatch?
Overwatch is a very popular competitive e-sport game that is regularly updated and content filled with various unlockable characters, skins, so on and hence a common misconception would be that over the past 5 years since its release the download file size must’ve grown considerably from the mere 6.5 GB on PC and 11 GB on Consoles, however, this is not at all true, or well it has grown in size since 2016 but not to an extent where players are having to buy a new hard drive or solid-state drive specifically for the game.
The game as of 2021 has a download file size of 20 GB on PC, this number might be slightly different from platform to platform with recent and future updates to come.
