The quick answer
Onimusha: Way of the Sword requires 50GB of storage on PC, and Capcom specifies an SSD for both minimum and recommended configurations. The official Steam listing provides that figure ahead of the Friday, September 4 launch.
We would leave 60 to 65GB free. Installation may use temporary space while unpacking the 50GB, and a day-one update could increase that figure.
The PS5 and Xbox Series downloads may differ because each platform uses its own compression. Until their stores show the final packages, we recommend reserving about 60GB on consoles as well.
- PC: 50GB with an SSD required.
- PS5: the final download is still pending, so reserve 60GB.
- Xbox Series X|S: the final download is still pending, so reserve 60GB.
How much space to reserve on PS5 and Xbox
Fifty gigabytes is a moderate download beside major releases exceeding 100GB. It can still consume the last open space on a PS5 or Xbox holding several games, so check storage the night before rather than launch morning.

Check the PC requirements as well
PC players also need to check the CPU, GPU, RAM, DirectX version and operating system. Having 50GB available will not compensate for another component falling below the requirements.
