Why so much free memory. Is anything stored on my computer

Copilot

Yes, when you download and install games from Steam, they are stored on your computer. The memory requirements listed for each game include both the space needed to install the game and the additional space required for updates, saved games, and other data.

Here’s a quick breakdown of why games need so much space:

Game Files: The core files needed to run the game, including graphics, sounds, and scripts.

Updates and Patches: Games frequently receive updates to fix bugs, add new content, or improve performance.

Saved Games: Your progress in the game is saved locally on your computer.

Additional Content: Some games allow you to download extra content like new levels, characters, or mods.

If you’re concerned about storage space, you can manage your installed games through the Steam client by uninstalling games you no longer play. This will free up space on your hard drive.

Do you have any specific games in mind that you’re worried about, or are you looking for tips on managing your storage?
