Halo 5: Guardians will take up to 60GB of space on your Xbox, according to specs on the packaged version. You might want to clear out some room or pick up an external hard drive before the game comes out on October 27.

The standard Xbox One comes with only 500GB, but there is a 1TB Xbox One available these days. You can even get the larger console bundled with Halo 5, though the bundled game is the digital edition and not a physical copy. That bundle comes with a 1TB custom console and controller, a full game download of Halo 5: Guardians, the Warzone REQ Bundle (includes 14 premium Requisition Packs, FOTUS-class armor, and multiplayer emblem), a Guardian model from Metal Earth, Halo: The Fall of Reach Animated Series, Blue & Osiris team dossiers, and Spartan Locke’s Classified Orders.

Meanwhile, if you pre-ordered the game but you’re not into the digital version, you can still get a physical copy before November 1, provided you didn’t already redeem your download code. Here’s how to do it.

Halo 5: Guardians will be available October 27 for Xbox One only. It’s rated T for Teen.
