Tekken 8 is going to knock another 100GB out of your PC's available storage
Bandai Namco has unveiled the full Tekken 8 PC system requirements and overall, they're pretty manageable—but, just like fellow fighting game Mortal Kombat 1 earlier this year, it's going to suck up an awful lot of your PC's storage space.
At the low end, you can get away with a Core i5 or Ryzen 5 1600 CPU, a GTX 1050 Ti, and "over 8GB" RAM, although the Steam page says 8GB will do you fine. But there's no overlooking that install footprint: SSDs are bigger and cheaper than ever, but 100GB's not nothing. That's especially true if you're a committed fighting game fan and want to have Street Fighter 6, Mortal Kombat 1, and Tekken 8 all installed at once, which would collectively eat up a whopping 260GB of space. Yowzah.
Side note: Need more of that sweet storage space? There are some very good Black Friday deals swirling around out there on SATA and NVMe drives, and just about every other kind of PC gaming stuff you can imagine.

Tekken 8 is set to launch on January 25, 2024, and is available for pre-purchase now on Steam.
