How Big Is League of Legends: File Size and Installation Guide

How big is League of Legends thumbnail

How big is League of Legends? The game needs 22 GB of storage space after installation in 2025.

The initial download size is smaller at 9-10 GB, but you need extra space for updates and game files.

I checked the current requirements, and you need 16 GB free storage space minimum. I suggest keeping 20 GB free because League gets regular updates.

The installation happens in parts:

  1. Download the Riot Games client (452.7 MB)
  2. Install the main game files (4.67 GB)
  3. Log in to your account
  4. Complete the final installation through the client
  5. Start playing

The game gets updates often. Each update is between 100 MB to 400 MB. Small patches with balance changes need less space. Updates with new events need more space.

You can't install League or its updates without enough free space. Clear some storage if needed before starting the download.

For the best experience, check your storage space first. The game runs better with extra free space on your hard drive. This prevents slowdowns during updates or when saving game data.

League is small compared to many modern games. The size makes it easy to install on most computers. You can keep the game updated without using too much storage space.
