With Ninja Gaiden 4 launching in less than two weeks, those on Xbox Series X/S and PC (via the Microsoft Store) can now pre-load it before launch. On console, it’s roughly 36.82 GB while the Microsoft Store PC version is about 54.9 GB.

The PC version on Steam requires 100 GB of installation space, so keep enough free space. Team Ninja and PlatinumGames haven’t said anything about a day-one patch, but stay tuned for more updates on that front.

Ninja Gaiden 4 launches on October 21st and is also coming to PS5. The story follows Yakumo, a member of the Raven Clan, on a mission to slay the Dark Dragon, once and for all. He’s at odds with series mainstay Ryu Hayabusa, who’s also a playable character, and you can expect about 15 to 20 hours to finish the story.

Thankfully, there’s plenty of side content and a Chapter Replay feature to go through the entire game as either ninja. Master Ninja difficulty also becomes available, providing the ultimate challenge. Head here for more details, or check out our feature for everything to know before the hack-and-slash title’s launch.
