20 Best PC Games Under 100GB (2026) Premium Games, Reasonable Size

Updated April 2026 with current Indian retail prices.

A 1TB SSD sounds massive until Call of Duty asks for 150GB and Red Dead Redemption 2 takes 120GB. These numbers are real and they wreck your storage faster than you think. Starfield is 125GB. RDR2 is 120GB. GTA V is 109GB. Forza Horizon 5 is 107GB. God of War Ragnarok on PC is 175GB. None of them make this list. This list covers the best games that stay under 100GB, which means a 1TB drive can hold 10 of them with room to spare. Every size verified from Steam as of April 2026. If you want an even tighter list, check the Best PC Games Under 75GB, Best PC Games Under 50GB, Best PC Games Under 30GB, and Best PC Games Under 20GB.

Quick Reference Table

25 Best PC Games Under 100GB in 2026

1. Hogwarts Legacy

Developer: Avalanche Software | Release: 2023 | Size: 85 GB

Hogwarts Legacy is the open world Harry Potter game everyone waited 20 years for. You play as a student in the 1800s, long before Voldemort, which gives the story room to breathe without being boxed in by existing canon. The world is genuinely huge, with Hogwarts castle alone taking hours to fully explore.

At 85GB it is one of the bigger games on this list, but the content justifies every gigabyte. There are full quest lines, a dark storyline involving ancient magic, and a Hogwarts that actually feels lived in. For Indian Harry Potter fans who grew up on the books and films, this is the game that finally delivers on that fantasy.

Runs well on mid-range hardware from around 2019 onwards. An RTX 3060 or RX 6600 will push comfortable 1080p. If you are building specifically for this and similar titles, the PC build under Rs 75,000 handles Hogwarts Legacy at high settings without trouble.

2. The Last of Us Part I

Developer: Naughty Dog / Iron Galaxy | Release: 2023 (PC) | Size: 76 GB download

A quick note on the size: Steam asks for 100GB of free space during installation because it needs workspace to decompress files. The actual installed game is around 76GB. Plan for that 100GB buffer when downloading, then you get 24GB back once the install completes.

The game itself is one of the best stories ever told in the medium. Joel and Ellie’s journey across a post-apocalyptic USA is brutal, emotional, and technically stunning. The PC port had a rough launch in 2023 but patches brought it to a solid state. At current sale prices on Steam, it regularly drops to under Rs 1,500 in India.

Note: The Last of Us Part II Remastered is a different story entirely. That one requires 150GB and does NOT make this list. If you want Part II, budget the storage separately.

3. Hitman World of Assassination

Developer: IO Interactive | Release: 2023 | Size: 76 GB

Hitman World of Assassination packs three full games, Hitman (2016), Hitman 2, and Hitman 3, into one launcher at 76GB total. IO Interactive used LZ4 compression to de-duplicate shared data across all three titles, which is why three games fit in what most modern open-world games need for one. That is impressive engineering.

The gameplay loop is endlessly replayable. Each level is a sandbox assassination puzzle with dozens of solutions. The Mumbai level has particular appeal for Indian players who will recognise the street textures and crowd density IO modeled from actual Mumbai.

This is also one of the best storage-to-content-hours ratios on PC. Completing all missions, challenges, and escalations across all three games takes 100+ hours. At 76GB that is phenomenal value.

4. Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered

Developer: Insomniac Games / Nixxes | Release: 2022 (PC) | Size: 75 GB

The Nixxes PC port of Spider-Man Remastered is one of the best PC ports ever made. Ray tracing, DLSS, FSR, ultra-wide support, and a photo mode that will eat your screenshot folder. Swinging through New York at 60fps with ray-traced reflections looks genuinely different from the console version.

The story is standalone and complete. You do not need any prior Marvel game knowledge. Peter Parker’s arc across this game is one of the tighter superhero narratives in gaming, and it sets up Miles Morales well if you want to continue. Both games together come to 150GB total, still under the size of a single Call of Duty install.

For GPU requirements, the GTX 950 minimum is genuinely low. Most Indian gamers on a GTX 1660 Super or RX 580 will get smooth 60fps at 1080p high settings.

5. Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales

Developer: Insomniac Games / Nixxes | Release: 2022 (PC) | Size: 75 GB

Miles Morales is shorter than Spider-Man Remastered but arguably more focused. The story takes place over a single holiday week in Harlem and hits emotionally hard for a superhero game. Miles’s bio-electric venom powers feel mechanically distinct from Peter’s combat style, so it does not feel like a reskin.

Same Nixxes port quality as the Remastered. DLSS and FSR support mean you can run this at very high visual settings even on older hardware by letting the upscaler do the heavy lifting. If you only have 75GB to spare and want one Spider-Man game, this is the shorter, sharper, more emotional choice.

6. Cyberpunk 2077 + Phantom Liberty

Developer: CD Projekt Red | Release: 2020 (PC) | Size: 86 GB

Cyberpunk 2077 including the Phantom Liberty expansion comes in at approximately 86GB as of the 2.3 update in 2025. The size has grown from the original 59GB at launch as patches added content, but it remains under 100GB.

The game that had one of the worst launches in gaming history became one of the best open world RPGs on PC. The 2.0 update in 2023 rebuilt the entire skill tree and police system from scratch. Night City is the most visually dense open world on PC right now, and with RT Overdrive mode on an RTX 4070 or above it looks unlike anything else.

For Indian gamers, the story’s themes of corpo exploitation and social stratification in a megacity land with a different kind of weight than they might for Western players. If you want something story-heavy with 80-100 hours of content, this is the benchmark. For GPU matchups, see the best graphics card under Rs 40,000 to pair with this game’s RTX demands.

7. God of War (2018)

Developer: Santa Monica Studio / Jetpack Interactive | Release: 2022 (PC) | Size: 70 GB

A critical note before anything else: God of War Ragnarok on PC requires 175GB installed. It does not make this list. The 2018 God of War, however, comes in at 70GB and is a completely different story that stands alone perfectly.

This is a father-and-son road trip through Norse mythology where the combat is among the best in any third-person action game. The single-camera shot technique, where the entire game is one continuous take with no visible cuts, is still impressive years after release.

The PC port is excellent. NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, and NVIDIA Reflex support make this run clean at 1440p on mid-range cards. At 70GB it is one of the better value installs on this list in terms of quality-per-gigabyte. Regularly goes on sale on Steam for under Rs 1,000.

8. Resident Evil 4 Remake

Developer: Capcom | Release: 2023 | Size: 67 GB

Capcom remade the original RE4, which was already considered one of the greatest games ever made, and somehow made it better. The over-the-shoulder combat, the Spanish village setting, the merchant, the attache case inventory management. All of it is rebuilt in the RE Engine with modern production values while preserving exactly what made the original legendary.

67GB is well-packaged for what you get. RE Engine is known for tight file sizes relative to visual quality. RE4 Remake at 1080p on high settings is genuinely competitive with games twice its file size. The Separate Ways DLC adds another few hours from Ada’s perspective and is worth the extra cost.

If you enjoy this, Resident Evil 2 Remake and RE3 Remake are both under 30GB each, making the entire modern RE collection extremely storage-friendly compared to most AAA titles.

9. Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition

Developer: Guerrilla Games | Release: 2020 (PC) | Size: 67 GB

Important note: Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered (released 2024-25) is a different product that requires 135GB. The original Complete Edition on Steam is 67GB and is what this entry covers. The original is also frequently on sale for very low prices, making it one of the best value open-world games on PC.

You play as Aloy, a hunter in a world where robotic animals have replaced organic wildlife. The mystery of why the world ended up this way is compelling, and the story answer, when it comes, is one of the better science fiction reveals in gaming. The open world is gorgeous even by 2026 standards.

The PC port runs on extremely old hardware, with a GTX 780 as the listed minimum. An RX 580 or GTX 1060 will run this comfortably at 1080p high settings. For Indian gamers on older builds, this is one of the best AAA open world options available.

10. Dying Light 2: Stay Human

Developer: Techland | Release: 2022 | Size: 60 GB

Dying Light 2 is a first-person open-world game where parkour and zombie combat combine in a post-apocalyptic city. The movement system is the real selling point. Jumping, vaulting, grappling, and gliding across rooftops with infected chasing you creates a rhythm that most action games never match.

60GB for an open world this size is respectable. The game has received substantial free updates since launch, including new story content and co-op improvements. The day-night cycle is one of the best mechanical implementations in open world gaming: daytime is for exploration and looting, nighttime forces risk-reward decisions about what you have to gain versus the infected strength increase.

The minimum GPU is a GTX 1050 Ti, which makes this playable on setups that are 5-6 years old. Co-op works well with Indian friends on domestic servers, with generally acceptable ping.

11. Elden Ring

Developer: FromSoftware | Release: 2022 | Size: 60 GB (66 GB with Shadow of the Erdtree DLC)

Elden Ring is the highest-rated game of the last five years by most aggregate scores, and it fits in 60GB. Including the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, still only 66GB. FromSoftware has always been remarkably efficient with file sizes, and Elden Ring continues that tradition despite being their biggest and most ambitious world to date.

The Lands Between is an open world built around mystery. Nothing is explained. No quest markers, no minimap pings telling you where to go. You explore, die, learn, adapt, and eventually understand. That design philosophy is divisive but the player base that connects with it tends to put in 200+ hours.

The PC port had initial stuttering issues that were largely resolved through community-made fixes and subsequent patches. By 2026 standards the game runs cleanly on most modern hardware. If you check the under 75GB list, Elden Ring appears there too as one of the standout picks.

12. Returnal

Developer: Housemarque / Climax Studios | Release: 2023 (PC) | Size: 60 GB

Returnal is a third-person bullet hell roguelike where an astronaut is trapped in a time loop on an alien planet. It is one of the most demanding games on this list in terms of GPU requirements, recommending an RTX 2070 at minimum for good reason. The game runs at 4K with ray tracing on consoles and the PC version maintains that visual bar.

The gameplay is relentless. Returnal expects you to die hundreds of times and learn from each loop. If you enjoy precision-based difficult games, this is the most technically advanced one on this list. The narrative layers hidden throughout the loop structure reward players who pay attention.

At 60GB it is one of the smaller entries given its visual quality. The PC port is excellent and includes features not in the console version. If you have an RTX 3060 or above and enjoy challenge, this is worth the install slot. For GPU options in this range, check the best graphics cards under Rs 40,000.

13. Metro Exodus

Developer: 4A Games | Release: 2019 | Size: 59 GB

Metro Exodus takes the claustrophobic tunnel survival of the first two Metro games and opens it into semi-open world environments across Russia. The game covers a full year of travel by train, with each chapter set in a different region and season. The tonal shift from frozen winter wastelands to desert summer is genuinely striking.

One of the first games to showcase RTX ray tracing at launch in 2019, Metro Exodus still looks remarkable in 2026. 4A Games’ atmospheric lighting makes every environment feel like a painting. This is one of the best narrative shooters ever made, and at 59GB it is very storage-efficient for the visual quality delivered.

The Enhanced Edition (a free upgrade if you own the base game on certain stores) improves lighting further with full path tracing. PC is definitively the best platform for this game.

14. A Plague Tale: Requiem

Developer: Asobo Studio | Release: 2022 | Size: 55 GB

A Plague Tale Requiem was one of the showcase games for PC visual capability when it launched. The rat swarms, numbering in the tens of thousands, rendered in real time, look like nothing else in gaming. The game was built as a next-gen title first and it shows.

The story follows Amicia and her younger brother Hugo across medieval France during a rat plague. The emotional weight of sibling protection across an increasingly desperate survival situation is handled better than most films manage. Play A Plague Tale: Innocence first if you can, it is under 40GB and sets up the characters.

55GB is efficient for the visual complexity on screen. Be aware that recommended specs include an RTX 2060, so this is a more demanding game. On an RTX 3060 Ti or RX 6700 XT you will get a stunning experience at 1080p or 1440p.

15. Monster Hunter World + Iceborne

Developer: Capcom | Release: 2018/2019 | Size: 51 GB (base game + Iceborne, no HD texture pack)

Monster Hunter World plus the Iceborne expansion together come to approximately 51GB without the optional HD texture pack. That optional pack adds 45GB more, so skip it unless you have 16GB VRAM and genuinely want maximum fidelity. The base game looks excellent without it.

This is a game about hunting massive creatures, crafting gear from their parts, and using that gear to hunt larger creatures. The loop sounds simple and has hundreds of hours of content inside it. World is the most accessible entry in the franchise and Iceborne doubles the endgame content.

Massive multiplayer community, still active in 2026. If you want to understand the series before Monster Hunter Wilds, play World + Iceborne first.

16. Dead Space Remake

Developer: Motive Studio | Release: 2023 | Size: 50 GB

Motive rebuilt Dead Space from the ground up rather than remastering it. Every environment was redesigned from scratch in the Frostbite engine. The Ishimura space station is now a fully connected, seamless space rather than separate loading-screen rooms. The result is a horror experience that is more claustrophobic and tense than the original despite everyone knowing the story.

50GB for a game this visually polished is impressive. Dead Space Remake uses some of the most detailed environmental textures in any horror game, and Motive managed to keep the size tight. The limb-targeting system, Isaac’s silence replaced with actual dialogue, and the new ending all justify playing even if you finished the original in 2008.

This is not a game for weak stomachs or light setups. It is dark, loud, and relentless. But for horror fans, it is one of the best 50GB installs available.

17. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt GOTY Edition

Developer: CD Projekt Red | Release: 2015 (Next Gen update 2022) | Size: 45 GB

The Witcher 3 GOTY Edition includes the base game plus the Blood and Wine and Hearts of Stone expansions, each of which is longer than most standalone games. All of that content in approximately 45GB makes this one of the most storage-efficient AAA games ever shipped.

The 2022 Next Gen update added ray tracing, DLSS 3 support, new visual assets inspired by the Netflix show, and improved textures throughout. At 45GB it still undercuts many modern games by half. The open world storytelling and quest writing remain the benchmark that other RPGs are measured against in 2026.

For Indian gamers, this is typically available at very low prices on Steam regional pricing, frequently under Rs 500 on sale. The GOTY edition covers 100+ hours of content. Pure value. See the full under 50GB list where Witcher 3 ranks among the top picks.

18. Forza Horizon 4

Developer: Playground Games | Release: 2018 | Size: 65-80 GB (depending on edition and installed DLC)

Forza Horizon 5 requires 103-148GB and does not make this list. Forza Horizon 4, set in the United Kingdom with dynamic seasons that change weekly, installs at 65-80GB depending on which DLC packs you include. The Standard Edition base game is approximately 65GB.

FH4’s seasonal system is still one of the best design decisions in racing game history. Every week the game world changes, festivals rotate, and exclusive cars become available. It creates a reason to return that most racing games never achieve. The British Isles setting is visually stunning across all four seasons.

Available through Xbox Game Pass on PC, which means if you subscribe you can install it without counting it against your storage permanently. This is a major advantage for Indian gamers managing tight SSD space.

19. Persona 5 Royal

Developer: Atlus | Release: 2022 (PC) | Size: 40 GB

Persona 5 Royal is a 100-130 hour JRPG inside a 40GB install. In terms of content hours per gigabyte, nothing on this list competes. You play as a high school student in Tokyo who leads a group of Phantom Thieves that enter the minds of corrupt adults and steal their desires.

The aesthetic, the jazz-influenced soundtrack, the turn-based combat, and the social sim elements between dungeons combine into something that multiple outlets called the best JRPG ever made. The Royal edition adds a third semester and a new character that recontextualises the entire narrative.

Japanese animation style means the GPU requirements are very low. A GTX 1060 runs this at max settings easily. For Indian gamers on budget builds or laptops, this is one of the highest-quality gaming experiences available regardless of hardware generation.

20. Far Cry 6

Developer: Ubisoft | Release: 2021 | Size: 60 GB base (Steam installs 170 GB with HD textures + all language packs auto-enabled)

Be aware of the storage situation before installing. The Steam version of Far Cry 6 automatically installs HD textures (around 50GB) and all language packs (around 20GB) without asking. The base game is 60GB but the Steam install lands at 170GB. You can manually delete the HD Texture Pack folder and non-English language folders after installation, bringing it back down below 100GB.

The game itself is a guerrilla warfare open world set on a fictional Cuban island. The story features Giancarlo Esposito as the antagonist and he is one of the better villain performances in recent gaming. The Yara setting is lush and varied, with different biomes spread across a large map.

If storage is a concern, install it, immediately go to the game folder and delete the HD texture pack and language files you do not need. That cleanup takes five minutes and gets you under 100GB. Far Cry 6 without the HD pack still looks excellent at 1080p.

21. Control Ultimate Edition

Developer: Remedy Entertainment | Release: 2019 | Size: 47 GB

Control is Remedy Entertainment’s best work. You play as Jesse Faden navigating the Federal Bureau of Control, a brutalist government building that has been invaded by a paranormal force called the Hiss. The building itself is a character, shifting and changing as you progress.

The combat is telekinetic chaos. You throw objects, shield yourself with debris, levitate, and dash through environments that collapse around you. The RTX ray tracing implementation in Control was one of the first demonstrations of what the technology could do in practice, and it is still stunning in the Ultimate Edition.

At 47GB it includes both expansions, The Foundation and AWE. The AWE expansion connects the Control universe to Alan Wake, Remedy’s other franchise, and hints at the shared universe that Alan Wake 2 expands significantly. Strong narrative, great combat, compact file size.

22. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

Developer: FromSoftware | Release: 2019 | Size: 14 GB

14 GB. That is the full size of Sekiro, and it is one of the best action games ever made. FromSoftware’s ability to deliver exceptional games in small file sizes is unmatched in the industry. Sekiro won Game of the Year in 2019 across nearly every major publication and requires less storage than most smartphone games in 2026.

The combat is pure swordfighting based on deflection timing rather than dodging. You are a shinobi in Sengoku-era Japan and every major enemy requires reading their attack patterns like music and responding perfectly. The skill ceiling is high, the reward for mastering it is enormous.

Runs on hardware from 2013 at the minimum. GTX 760 is the listed minimum GPU. Any gaming setup built in the last eight years will run this at max settings without issue.

23. Hades

Developer: Supergiant Games | Release: 2020 | Size: 2 GB

Hades takes 2GB. Two. For a game that won dozens of Game of the Year awards in 2020, including from outlets that had never given the award to a roguelike before, and holds a 10/10 aggregate rating on multiple review platforms.

You play as Zagreus, son of Hades, trying to escape the underworld. Each escape attempt is a run through procedurally generated chambers, and the story advances through both successful escapes and failures. The narrative delivery system, where character relationships develop regardless of whether you win or lose, was genuinely new to games and has been widely imitated since.

Hades II is in early access and likely to be one of the biggest releases of 2026. Play the original first. At 2GB there is zero reason not to. Runs on any device made in the last decade, including mid-range laptops.

24. Disco Elysium: The Final Cut

Developer: ZA/UM | Release: 2019 (Final Cut 2021) | Size: 17 GB

Disco Elysium is an RPG with no combat. You play a detective with severe amnesia reconstructing a murder investigation in a crumbling fictional city. Every skill, from empathy to electrochemistry to perception, is a voice in your head that comments on the world. The writing quality is, without exaggeration, literary fiction.

The Final Cut added full voice acting to the entire game. Every character, including the 24 skills in your head, is now voiced. The result is 40-60 hours of story-focused RPG in 17GB. The game handles themes of political ideology, failure, addiction, and identity with a depth and wit that no other game approaches.

Runs on anything. A 2012 laptop will run Disco Elysium. There is no GPU requirement that matters. This is storage and content in its most efficient ratio possible for a narrative game of this quality.

25. Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree (Complete Package)

Developer: FromSoftware | Release: 2024 (DLC) | Size: 66 GB (base game + DLC combined)

Shadow of the Erdtree, released in June 2024, added the entire Land of Shadow to Elden Ring. Critics called it the best DLC expansion of the generation. The combined install of Elden Ring plus Shadow of the Erdtree still comes in at 66GB, which is extraordinary for the content delivered.

The DLC introduces new weapon types, entirely new boss encounters, and a vertical world design that is more complex than the base game’s Limgrave. If you played Elden Ring on console and are considering the PC version, the complete package at 66GB is one of the best purchases on Steam at any price point.

FromSoftware’s file size discipline across all their titles, Sekiro at 14GB, Elden Ring at 60GB, is remarkable. They prove consistently that storage efficiency and world quality are not in conflict. Both games together still fit in under 80GB of combined storage.

Games That Cross the 100GB Line

Several games you see mentioned in “under 100GB” lists around the internet are actually well over 100GB. Here are the verified sizes so you do not get surprised mid-install.

God of War Ragnarok catches the most people off guard. Every list describing it as “67GB” is citing the PS5 size. The PC version installed is 175GB. That is nearly three times the console size and well over double what this article covers.

The Call of Duty situation is particularly bad. With all optional packs, the full install can hit 160GB or more. No single game should require 160GB. That is eight Sekiro installs.

Managing a 1TB SSD for Indian Gamers

A 1TB SSD has roughly 930GB of usable space after formatting. Windows 11 takes approximately 25-30GB. That leaves you with around 900GB for games.

With 10 games from this list at an average of 60GB each, that is 600GB used. Add Windows and you are at 625GB, leaving 275GB free. That is comfortable, but a few larger installs from this list (Cyberpunk at 86GB, Hogwarts at 85GB, both Spider-Man games at 75GB each) push you toward 850GB quickly.

The practical approach for Indian gamers managing a 1TB SSD:

• Keep 5-6 active games installed at any time and rotate by uninstalling completed ones
• Steam Cloud saves your progress for almost every modern game, so uninstalling a game does not lose your save
• Games under 50GB (Witcher 3, Elden Ring, Dead Space Remake, Persona 5 Royal, Hades, Sekiro) can stay permanently installed as they take minimal space collectively
• Reserve the big slots (Hogwarts, Cyberpunk, Last of Us Part I) for games you are actively playing

External SSD option: A Seagate 1TB Portable SSD is available in India for approximately Rs 4,500-5,500 depending on the platform and current offers. This gives you a second TB dedicated to game storage. Games run well from external SSDs connected via USB 3.0, though load times will be slightly longer than a primary internal NVMe drive.

Xbox Game Pass: Several games on this list are available on Xbox Game Pass for PC. Forza Horizon 4 in particular is on Game Pass. If you subscribe (currently around Rs 749/month for PC Game Pass in India), you can install and play these without permanently allocating storage. When you stop playing, uninstall and the slot is free.

Steam download scheduling: Set Steam to download during off-peak hours. Go to Steam settings, under Downloads, enable download scheduling and set it to run between 1 AM and 7 AM. Indian ISPs often have better speeds during those hours, and you wake up to completed 60-80GB downloads.

Frequently Asked Questions

This is it folks. 25 games, all verified under 100GB, all worth the install slot. From 2GB roguelikes to 86GB open worlds. Happy Gaming!
