I just noticed that Diablo 4 is using 89.3 GB in addition to the 740.4 MB that the Battle.net folder uses. Can one assume that with the release of more seasons, the storage space required will also increase?
90gb is for high texture if you play on 4k tv mostly, low textures is 55gb.
you can decide wich option you want when installing.
the textures files always take high disk space.
the storage space shouldn’t increase so much with seasons cause they’ll probably use textures that are already in the game.

I play on a PC with high settings at 1440p. Even though I think nearly 1 TB is excessive, I am okay so long as the file size doesn’t continue to grow. Thanks for the response.
If you have enough VRAM (8GB or more), you should be using the ultra textures since the visual difference between high and ultra is quite massive in most places.
you might want to get use to it, 100 GB is the new normal. D4 is not required for SSD, a 7200 RPM HDD works just fine for more space at the price. I’m running 2 HDD @ 6 TB each for my AAA games and have a 1TB SSD for the OS and warzone (MW3). They are not that hard to install (youtube it).
If you like stuttering, then yes play D4 from a mechanical drive 
It’s not like SSDs are expensive anymore… cmon.

Daywal3r is full of it with only 5 games in storage…lol. My HDD doesn’t cause D4 to studder, you just think it does and right SSD are not that expensive?, like have you priced the 4TB SSD? they are freaking $300 cmon
Sure, guess everybody else does too. I think it’s called mass psychosis 
Why would you get a 4TB? 1 or 2 is fine.
A 1TB brand SSD is like 60€ and 2TB slightly above 100€, less than double.
And just for fun i looked up what a 4TB nvme is, that’s 235€ for a Crucial one.
You’re lucky then.
There have been people with the game loaded on a HDD that were having teleport fail due to loading times being too slow.
And the game’s minimum requirements state an SSD is needed. lol You can even use a SATA based one if you had to, doesn’t have to be an NVME, but you are gimping yourself otherwise.
HDDs are only good these days for large amounts of storage, as its cheaper per GB than SSDs. But for performance, they get totally crapped on by an SSD. Even HDD’s in basic RAID setups.
Why a 4 TB because I own well over 300 games and have all my 2D games on an 8 TB. You Conspiracy theorist think every game need to be on a SDD. I’m getting 72 FPS on D4 with no stuttering so be it, got 356 GB free on my SSD but why put it there if I don’t need to I only put MW3 on it to kill the packet loss…lol
You got me there 
the only other reason I can think of why I don’t have stuttering is I am loaded with memory, got 8 GB on GPU and 32 GB in system (RAM) so there is plenty of sponge to absorb all the water the HDD can read . I’m sure that 7200 RPM is spinning it’s little wheels off…lol
I don’t think anyone said every game needs an SSD.
But many games run a hell of a lot better on one.
I run my 3 main games from my 1TB 7000MB read/write Kingston Fury NVMe drive. Diablo 3, Diablo 4, and Overwatch.
I run the rest (and there are a lot, between Steam, GoG, EA, Origin, and Blizzard) off of a 2TB SATA based Samsung SSD. And then I have 3x 1TB SATA HDDs setup as a 3TB RAID 0 Stripe for just basic data storage, movies, etc.
