How big are the top 60 free Steam games?
Short answerThe median is 8 GB across the 58 of the top 60 free-to-play games (by players) that list a size. The 20 with the most players are heavier: 40 GB median. 21 list more than 30 GB, and those are years-old hits whose players already agreed to wait. A new game does not get that patience: at Steam's world-average 129 Mbps, 30 GB takes 31 min.
