How Much Space Will XDefiant Take Up?

It appears that XDefiant is not going to be as much of a storage hog as its competition, coming in at around 50GB total. As the game continues to receive updates, we can only expect that number to grow and swell. For the time being, however, you won’t need to delete the majority of the games off of your hard drive if you’re hoping to give XDefiant a try.
