How many gigabytes does Steam take up?
Steam itself is a pretty lightweight client, usually needing about 1GB to install on your system. But remember, that's just the app. The real space hogging starts when you begin downloading games, which can range from a few MBs to tens, or even hundreds, of GBs each.

Steam's install footprint is tiny! Just about 1GB. But games? That's a whole different story. You'll need a lot more space for those.
Only around 1GB for the Steam client. But trust me, that's the least of your storage worries once you start hoarding games.
