After 26 years, Battletoads will be coming back later this month and Microsoft has recently revealed the file size and system requirements of the game which doesn't seem to be a big deal for current-gen PC gamers.
Originally revealed at E3 2018, Battletoads is a reboot of the series developed by Dlala Studios in partnership with Rare that is targetting an August 20 release on Xbox One and PC. While the original game was a beat'em up, the reboot features some new mechanics beyond the typical beat'em up elements, which turns it into a modern-day experience other than its enhanced visuals.
Recently, Microsoft revealed filesize of Battletoads for Xbox One and PC. According to the new hardware details, the game requires 19.29 GB of free space on Xbox One and 15 GB of free space on PC. Fortunately, the game can be run on most of the low-spec systems as it requires a GTX 650 Ti or an AMD R7 260 to run on the recommended preset. Here you can check out the official system requirements:

With Rare Studios working on Sea of Thieves and Everwild simultaneously, Dlala Studios has been chosen to take the helm for Battletoads reboot, which will be the second project from Dlala. The team has already delivered Overruled in the same genre in 2015 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The game received mixed reviews on Steam.
Battletoads will be available through Steam and Microsoft Store on August 20. It's worth noting that the game will be available for free for all Xbox Game Pass subscribers at launch.
