How do I install Shadow of the Tomb Raider?

This is a pre-installed build, so there's no installer. Extract the archive into a folder excluded from your antivirus, then launch the game from SOTTR.exe inside the Shadow of the Tomb Raider game folder. Run it as administrator, and if it fails to start, install the necessary apps from the Redist or _CommonRedist folder first.

How big is the download?

The package is 52.1 GB. Make sure you have enough free space plus extra room for save files and shader cache before extracting.
