[Punished Miku]

ahhh damn, they're going in raw.

This probably has to wait until I finish Call of Duty.

 

[adamsapple]

Damn why is it that big?

Guessing lots of unoptimized textures, going by the developers previous releases

Day 1 regardless tho

 

[M1chl]

God of War Ragnarok is 175GB on PC.
Games with many unique assets are getting huge.

It’s like half that size on ps5

 

[Magic Carpet]

150 on PC. I had to search Stalker 2 to find it. It only downloaded 10MB and now says preinstalled.

 

[Johnny Concrete]

Damn why is it that big?

Edit: Beaten….

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

If I got a dollar for every time I heard that . . .

Spoiler

I'd have zero dollars.

Kraken.

The PS5 uses ML to upscale the textures in real time. The feature isn’t on PC. As such, the textures are all downloaded uncompressed, resulting in the much larger size.

It only takes you an hour for 100+ gigs?
It’s going to take me like 10

 

[bender]

It's time for Comcast to raise their data caps again.

 

[yogaflame]

Enjoy Xbox fans, I hope it really is a good game. I will wait on the Ps5 side of things in the near future for Stalker 2.

 

[Ceadeus]

Jesus Christ... how many fetch quests can fit in that 145GB?

Anyway it's gonna be a good time, it's worth deleting Call of Duty.

 

[Beechos]

Nice 145gb.. this game should be a looker then those ultra high res textures take up alot of space.

 

[Ridicululzz]

Can't wait for this one! This and DQ3 are gonna take up the rest of my November.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I can't find any story information on this game?

And I just have Fios's entry level 300Mbps connection. People with Gig internet will be able to download this in less than half the time.

The actual installed size is much smaller at almost exactly 100GB, which is not that much bigger then the 90ish of the PS5 version. Differences are probably down to compression systems used, as you said.

 

[Flabagast]

I expect the game to be spectacular (and also probably full of bugs at launch).

Do we know when the review embargo drops ?

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Waiting on reviews.

 

[saintjules]

Damn why is it that big?

That's what she didn't say

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Rob’s movies are underrated classic cinema. I highly recommend Big Stan if you haven’t see it.

 

[Wolves hunt in packs]

Can't wait for release day already.

 

[digital_ghost]

Can confirm. I live in the Walmart bathroom stall and internet caps at 25mb/s.

I guess the file size could be half on ps5 pro in the future ?

Very eager to see the PC and console performance reviews.
