A rumour has been gaining momentum on Reddit of late — that Cyberpunk 2077, the next major title from CD Projekt Red, would require a massive 200 GB to install.

With titles such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare seeing huge data requirements, it's a rumour that was entirely believeable. However, this has now been proven false after the Polish developer's Head of Community, Marcin Momot, refuted the claim on social media.

While the @CyberpunkGame system requirements are not out yet (they are coming soon, though!), I wanted to address this topic from reddit. The game won't take up 200GB when installed. You can expect the required HDD space to be on par with other modern titles. pic.twitter.com/tRigjPWLfC
