It's how Steam tells you how much of your hard drive is gonna get eaten up by a game. Keep an eye out, or you'll run out of space faster than you can say 'but I need all these games!'

Disk usage on Steam refers to the amount of space a game requires on your hard drive to be installed and run. Basically, when you're eyeing that new game or update, disk usage tells you how much room it'll take up on your PC. So you better make sure you've got enough space, or it's time to start deciding which of your beloved games gets the boot to make room for the new ones.

Actually, it's just a fancy way of saying how big the game is. More disk usage means a bigger game, which means you might need to clean up your PC a bit if you're running out of space.
