How much memory does Steam take up?
Just the Steam client needs around 1GB. But trust me, that's the least of your worries once you see the size of modern game installs.

Steam itself is pretty lightweight, needing about 1GB of space for the installation. But remember, that's just the app. Once you start adding games, that number is gonna skyrocket. Each game's size varies wildly from a few hundred MBs to tens, even hundreds of GBs. So, the real answer? It depends on your game library size.
Honestly, if you're gaming on PC, worrying about Steam's size is like stressing over a drop of water in an ocean. The games are the real space hogs.
Steam itself? Around 1GB. But add a couple of games and you're looking at needing a whole lot more space. Pro tip: get an external hard drive.
