How many GB is Rust?

45 GB

That makes it bigger than 91% of Shooter games we have measured.

The median Shooter game needs 4 GB; the largest tenth start at 40 GB.

Leave at least 59 GB free: games need headroom to unpack updates.

The figure is the storage Steam lists as required for this game, not a measured download.

Rust is a multiplayer survival game set on a procedurally generated island where players must manage hunger, thirst, and health while contending with hostile wildlife and other players. Starting with only a rock and torch, players gather resources, craft tools, weapons, and structures, and form or fight against clans in a persistent open world that resets on a regular wipe cycle. Originally developed as a clone of DayZ with Minecraft-style crafting elements, the game spent over four years in early access before its full release in 2018.
