This week sees the release of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor with an install size of 150GB, and shortly after comes Redfall with a system requirement for 100GBs of space. For example, Modern Warfare 2 is currently renting 137GB from myself and you often want to keep games installed because it takes a while to re-download them if you're not on the fastest internet connection or your ISP meters the amount of data you download. It's becoming more and more common to see games exceeding 100GB installation file sizes - even 150GB and more. What exactly comes on the disc for Jedi: Survivor isn’t yet known, but Modern Warfare 2 set a worrying precedent last year by including just 72MB of its physical data on the game disc which meant the entire game needed downloading before play could commence.Before the talk of whether or not your GPU had enough VRAM to play a game came the conversation of "Look at how much drive space this game is taking up". It’s worth noting for Xbox users that the Xbox App allows anyone to pre-download a game regardless of whether they own it or not, so if you’re planning to hit the shops for a physical Xbox copy on launch day it might pay to start that download right now. The Xbox Series S version, on the other hand, weighs in at just 44GB. The game’s behemoth 150GB file size is likely to be attributed to the game’s 4K textures, which will only be available for the PlayStation, Xbox Series X and PC iterations. After it was reported last week that the upcoming Star Wars Jedi: Survivor would creep up to Call of Duty levels of bloat, it’s perhaps no surprise to learn that even the game’s physical copies will force a download before you’re able to play.Īs the game clocks in at far larger than the capacity of even a dual-layered blu-ray disc, Jedi: Survivor isn’t one you’ll be able to simply pop in and play.
