Recently, the storage space for new AAA games is increasing. While many of this year’s highly anticipated games are approaching or exceeding 100GB, Tekken 8, scheduled for release in January next year, also became the first in the series to reach 100GB.
Tekken 8 PC version capacity can be checked on the official Steam page. Both the minimum and recommended requirements are 100 GB, which is an increase of approximately 67% considering that the capacity was 60 GB when the previous Tekken 7 was released. The minimum graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, and the recommended RTX 2070 is not excessively high, but many gamers responded that they were surprised by the increase in capacity.

For users who mainly play games on PC, the pressure to purchase additional SSDs is increasing as the number of titles over 100GB is increasing this year. In fact, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is 155GB, Force Forken is 150GB, The Last of Us Part 1 PC version is 100GB, Baldur’s Gate 3 is 150GB, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 2023 is 149GB. Among the major releases this year in the same genre as Tekken 8, Street Fighter 6 is 60GB and Mortal Kombat 1 Reboot is 100GB.
Of course, Tekken 7 was a game released about 6 years ago in 2017, and as PC hardware developed in the meantime, it can be said that Tekken 8 also had specifications in line with market trends. In particular, as we saw earlier, the number of new titles exceeding 100GB is increasing, and it is difficult to evaluate Tekken 8 as having an excessively large capacity. However, as game capacity increases overall, an era is coming where users who mainly play games on PC must consider upgrading or optimizing storage space.
Meanwhile, Tekken 8 will be released on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S on January 26th next year and will support Korean. As of release, the total number of characters is 32, and along with existing characters such as Devil Jin, Raven, Alisa, and Li Chaorang, new faces such as Victor Chevalier, who uses a gun and a Japanese sword, and Reina, a female character who uses the fastest Wind God Fist, also appear. On the 22nd, a Leo play video was released.
