It’s important to note that the Xbox One discount may only become available a few hours after release, so make sure to wait a bit before buying the full-release version.

You’re going to need at least 13GB available space to download it. Considering the current size is 15GB on Steam, this may change with the release of the 1.0 version. So, to be safe, keep around 20GB of space open.
