Persona5: The Phantom X Download Size — Full Install
Updated 2026-06-03
Wondering how much space Persona5: The Phantom X takes up on your PC? Here is the breakdown of download size, install size, and how much extra room you should leave for updates.
Storage Requirements
| Component | Size |
|---|---|
| Steam Download | 28 GB |
| Installed Size (base) | 35 GB |
| With High-Res Texture Pack | 52 GB |
| Post-Update Overhead (estimated) | 10–15 GB extra |
| Recommended Free Space | 60 GB |
The base install does not include the optional high-resolution texture pack. Download it only if you have a GPU with 8+ GB VRAM and play at 1440p or higher. On 1080p, the standard textures look identical.
Why Is It So Big?
Two reasons: voice acting and music. Persona5: The Phantom X has full Japanese voice acting for the entire main story (40+ hours of dialogue) plus a massive soundtrack with both P5 classics and new tracks. The cel-shaded art style does not compress well either — each character model has dozens of animation files for confidant scenes, combat, and idle poses. If storage is tight, you can delete the voice language packs you do not use (Settings → Manage Files).
FAQ
- Does the game compress on installation?
- Yes. Steam downloads compressed files and decompresses during install. That is why the download is 28 GB but the install is 35 GB.
- How much space do updates add?
- Each major patch adds 2–5 GB. With Version 4.0, the total went from 30 GB to 35 GB. Expect 50+ GB by Version 6.0.
- Can I install on an external drive?
- Yes. Steam lets you install to any drive. Just make sure it is USB 3.0+ or SSD — an external HDD will have long load times.
