Destiny 2 Lightfall is, without a doubt, Bungie's biggest expansion to date. The Y6 of the game has a lot of content in store for the entire community, from overhauls, subclasses, and weapons to new locations and missions. The company has already warned its playerbase about the one-day maintenance that will be held before launch.

However, with the last TWAB ever in The Witch Queen saga, Bungie revealed the pre-installation size of the expansion across all platforms. Safe to say, players will need to free up some space to install, be it on PC, PlayStation, or Xbox. Official details on the installation size can be found on Bungie's official website, as the company has published a storage requirements article ahead of the release.


Official pre-installation size and downtime revealed for Destiny 2 Lightfall

Similar to The Witch Queen and multiple other seasons in Destiny 2, the community will need to download the required files to gain access. Since the servers will be taken down a day before launch, everyone will have enough time to prepare for the expansion by having all the files pre-installed.
