PlayStation listed the PS3 Tomb Raider Digital Edition at 10.2 GB in 2013—but that size applies to a bundle, not to the base game alone. The bundle included the full game, bonus content and the full game Quantum Conundrum. An official base-game-only download or installed size is not established by the available sources.
What does the 10.2 GB figure include?
PlayStation’s March 2013 listing gives a file size of 10.2 GB for the PS3 Tomb Raider Digital Edition. The listing describes a package with the full Tomb Raider game, bonus items and maps, outfits, and the full Quantum Conundrum game. It is therefore not a verified size for Tomb Raider by itself.

Is the PS3 base game itself 10.2 GB?
No source here establishes a base-game-only PS3 digital download size or installed footprint. The PlayStation figure is for the Digital Edition bundle; there is no reliable way to isolate the game’s own size by subtracting the extras. Download size and installed size can also describe different things, so neither should be inferred from a bundle listing.
Why do PS3 disc-image sizes differ?
A third-party catalogue lists regional PS3 disc-image entries ranging from 6.1 GiB to 13.2 GiB, including 6.1 GiB for Asia, 8.4 GiB for a Europe English/Arabic entry, 13.2 GiB for a multilingual Europe entry, and 10.1 GiB for the USA entry. These are catalogue image sizes for particular regional or language variants—not official PlayStation download requirements or installed sizes. The catalogue’s variation is a reason to identify the region and language version when comparing entries, not to treat one value as the definitive size. GameFAQs regional catalogue

What should you use to estimate storage?
If you are checking a historical size reference, use 10.2 GB only for the PS3 Digital Edition bundle as PlayStation listed it in 2013. For a base-game-only download or installed footprint, the available official information does not provide a verified figure. Disc-image catalogue entries answer a different question and vary by region and language edition.

Square Enix announced Tomb Raider for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Windows, with a March 5, 2013 release in North America and Europe and an April 25, 2013 release in Japan. Its release announcement confirms the platform and dates, but does not state a storage requirement. The official PS3 manual likewise documents the game but does not give its digital download or installation size.
