Steamhas become one of the most widely known places for PC gamers to buy and play their games. Not only is the platform a host to some of the most popular games available today, but it’s also one of the most accessible platforms to small games publishers and developers. With so many games available on the platform of varying sizes and storage space required when installing, one might have trouble determining how much it would take up.Valve is making a change to Steamthat will allow players to see how much storage is required before needing to try installing first.
Before thisSteam update, players would only know how much space a game would take up by attempting to install it. After pressing the button to install the game, a new window would list how much of the drive is free, along with how much the game would take up. While this may be a small change, this update gives players a much more convenient way to check how much is needed, and some can take advantage of this new feature now.

In the current version ofSteam, any game that is brought up in the library will show a number of details. These include the last time the game was played, how much time has been spent playing it, as well as the number of achievements that have been accomplished by the player. If players have the beta version of the Steam platform, the “Last Played” detail has been removed and instead shows how much space the game will take up.
To some, this small change will be incredibly beneficial. Many will most likely want to know how much a game will take up before they wish to install it over when they had last played a game. This is especially helpful for gamers who usespare hard drives or SSDsfor the express purpose of holding their games. With many AAA games requiring lots of space nowadays, this will help players determine which games are worth keeping and which games can be uninstalled to provide more space.
