Do not attempt to install this on a 256GB boot drive. You need a dedicated 500GB SSD or a 1TB secondary drive. If you have a 512GB SSD, you can only fit Ragnarok plus one other AAA game (like Cyberpunk 2077 ).
The initial files transferred over the internet are compressed to save bandwidth. For God of War Ragnarök, the initial download size sits at ~175 GB .
