It's a 27gb download that's 35gb after installation. Not sure where you got 85gb from.

Probably just misread the 3 as an 8

It's 33.61GB on my PC. I dunno where Valve got the 85GB requirement from

Extraction space for archives is my bet.

The space is then cleared post extraction and completed installation.

Maybe for temporary files during installation?
