Resident Evil 7 biohazard won’t take up a lot of your hard drive space on your console. Xbox Games and the PlayStation store have released the space requirements for the game.

According to the stores, you’ll need 20.21GB on Xbox One and 20.7GB on PS4. Hey, it could be worse. You could be looking at Final Fantasy XV-esque space requirements, though that would be absurd for a horror game. Still, most games are usually twice the size. Hopefully this doesn’t mean players will get less content.

Producer Masachika Kawata recently spoke with Game Informer about the lack of game details released for Resident Evil 7 biohazard . We’ve seen brief teasers and there is a demo available, but for the most part Capcom hasn’t released a lot of gameplay previews.

“In order to fully enjoy a horror title, we don't think it's good to release too much information beforehand,” Kawata said. “What's hidden in the darkness? Who are the enemies? How do I escape? These are questions we would prefer to leave unanswered before the player experiences the game, so that they can uncover things on their own. As a result, we understand some fans have questions about the contents of the game, but we assure you that we're ready to deliver a Resident Evil horror experience of the utmost quality.”

However, Capcom will release a free DLC for Resident Evil 7 biohazard in Spring 2017. If you decide to purchase Resident Evil 7 for the Xbox One, you’ll receive a free copy for PC. However, if you’re interested in the VR experience, PS4 is the way to go as Resident Evil 7 is exclusive to the PlayStation VR for the first year.

Ready for the thrills? Resident Evil 7 biohazard will be released Jan. 24 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
