For those you don't have installed, just click on them, and click the Install button. It will tell you how much disk space is being used by that game.
For all the games that are installed, right click them in the Library menu, and click Local Files. In the 10 hours that has passed since you've asked this question, you could have done it manually (now keep in mind, I'm not criticizing you, I'm just using this to point out that doing it manually might be the only way). So you want to add your currently installed games (100gb) to your install games result (3000) gb to give you your total steam library size: (3100gb)! Okay, so here's the thing, even though you selected your already installed games, Steam did not count them in the files to be installed size. Now right click one of them and select "Install selected." Steam will show you how large the install size is! Write this down too. Now go into your steam library via steam. (Don't worry, we're gonna count your entire library, but you need to do this part separately.) Just right click your steam folder and select properties (or steam apps if you want a slightly more accurate footprint.) If you have multiple steam install locations, you need to do this same thing for all of those too. So first you need to figure out exactly how big all your currently installed games are. For bonus points, you can fire up an Excel file to auto-add everything for you. You'll need an open text file to write down some numbers. Okay, the bookmark applet didn't work for me, but I have a slightly less simple but more reliable way to do it. Just go up a couple of steps (plus however much more you want to store the rest of the kipple we all carry around everywhere between hard drives), and you should be good. The game takes up about 1.5 GB of space.Īll that being said, however, this should give you a reasonable idea of how much space you'd need to store your entire Steam library on a disk. Another problem is that at least one game is messed up on this page see where it says that Trine 2 takes up 13.7 MB of space? That's filthy lies.
Now, there are a couple of caveats: this isn't using any official Steam feature, so the method may very well stop working at any point without warning. The difference between "real" gigabytes and "marketing" gigabytes is a boring, complicated mess that nobody cares about and thankfully is going away with SSDs - just know that the "marketing" size is the amount of space you'd buy, the "real" size is the size you'll see on your computer if you install everything. Once you're at the All Games page, click the bookmarklet in your bookmarks, and it'll do its thing.ģ. Make sure you're looking at your profile, unfortunately you can't use this to calculate the total size of any of your friends' libraries. Go to Steam, make sure you're logged in to your account, then go to Community -> Games -> All Games. Go to this jsFiddle, right click the link, click "Bookmark this link" or whatever equivalent your browser has.Ģ. muahahaha A bookmarklet can do almost anything you can do on a website as a logged in user, so I could, I don't know, make all your games start installing on your computer or something (ssl should block the script so I don't think anything super important is vulnerable).ġ. The one caution I would have is that bookmarklets are a pretty insecure thing to use, so I strongly urge that you only do this if either you can understand Javascript well enough to know that my script is not doing anything sneaky, or you trust me. After a bit of messing around, I created a bookmarklet that will inspect that variable, sum up all the file sizes, and tell you the total size in both real and marketing terms. It turns out that when you visit the All Games page on your user profile, Steam stores information on them in a Javascript variable embedded in that page named rgGames. You'll get an alert telling you the size on disk and the size you'd need to buy, approximately. Go to this jsFiddle, bookmark the link (it's a bookmarklet), go log in to Steam on your browser, look at Community -> Games -> All Games, use the bookmarklet (open it like you would a bookmark).
