I'm sorry, 175 GB? WTF with these game sizes.
Devs have gotten pretty lazy with file size optimization these last couple console generations, now that they don't need to strictly fit everything on the disc.
I honestly don't understand why games don't simply use something like Android does.
If I have a 720p monitor, download lower res assets and a smaller game. If I have a 4k monitor, download all the pixels and consume 100gb.
I think Steam recently started to support different packages for different devices like the steam deck to reduce space. I'm not sure how many games support it because I suspect it's extra work to maintain more packages.
Big if true! Thanks for sharing, I'll keep an eye out. The closest thing I've seen is Halo Infinite making the highres textures a free dlc
Yep! 175gb for a single player game right out of the gate.
Granted, I think most of the size comes from 4K textures, maybe? It really is a good looking game though.
4K textures for immersive worlds.
