Larian Studios has revealed Baldur’s Gate 3 has an install size of 122 GB and that players can't preload any of it before the game's August 3 launch.

Baldur's Gate III Developers say Steam doesn’t support pre-load for Early Access titles because switching to pre-load would break the game for people currently playing Early Access, recommends deleting your save files/mods and doing a fresh install

"The full release of the game weighs in at approximately 122GB. Please note that your Early Access save games will not be compatible at launch; however, so much has changed that it’s really worth it to start afresh."

122 GB on PC?

Edit: Yes on PC.

Hopefully it's smaller on PS5. Devs not making use of the hardware benefits given to them on console is always a sad thing to see.

We need to see Steam developers utilizing the Steam Deck depot with compressed assets for the 800p screen. There's no need for 4k assets on a handheld.

That's a lot of data but the game is huge though.. (> 100hrs for a single campaign).
