its not been said only that The PAYDAY 3 size for download on PC is estimated at 100GB of SSD space.

Naaah, 100 GB is way too much even for an UE4 game. Plus-minus 60, but definitely not 100

"way too much" based on what metric? You just decided for yourself 100 GB is way too much based on literally nothing. Maybe they use high resolution textures? Saying "100GB is way too much" is laughable, if a game uses high resolution textures it's gonna be a big game.

Most of the bloat on Unreal Engine or hell, even in PAYDAY 2 (live service games in general) comes from skins and cosmetic items. PAYDAY 3 releases with no skins, no high res cutscenes, no sound files for 20 extra heisters. Stuff that usually increases game size significantly is simply not present in PAYDAY 3... yet. And high res textures? HAH, good one. Maybe when it ports over on UE5, but definitely not on launch. I'd be surprised if I'm actually wrong on this one.

As another example, this graph here is a perfect example of how Killing Floor 2, UE 3 game managed to get bloated to over 90 GBs from around 30 over the years. Skins and cosmetics take at least 40% of total game size.

But hey, feel free to disagree. It's just my opinion based on facts is all. It's going to be 70 at worst, but definitely not 100.

What makes you think only UE5 games can have high resolution textures, that makes absolutely no sense. The game engine is not the deciding factor if a game uses high resolution textures or not, the textures are separate files being used by the engine but the engine does not determine if the textures are high or low resolution. Also you just said it yourself, skins make the game file size bigger so if they include skins the game size will be bigger, these are all valid reasons why a game filesize would be big. Also I dont really understand this whole second and third world complaining about file sizes, again SSDs are cheap what is the problem? If you have a tiny bit of storage thats a you problem, the devs arent doing anything wrong.

Beta build featured no high resolution textures and you know? I heavily doubt that they are going to be featured on launch. I think Starbreeze would have mentioned them by now, don't you think?

I wasn't taking about storage being cheap to begin with, neither was OP. Storage affordability is not what OP was asking either. That's good for you that you are able to afford it, buddy. Not everyone in "second and third world" can though. Gee, you're quite comfortable on that high horse of yours are you?

Why would having high resolution textures be something they publicly announce lol? It's common in games to have it in 2023, its not a special feature that requires an announcement. Just like monitor resolutions go up over time, so do texture resolutions making file sizes bigger. In the end the developer might be able to do something to compress the file size but why is it such a big issue to you, there is much bigger issues to think about when a game launches such as performance, file size isnt that big of a deal compared to performance.

Whatever floats your boat, pal. You've completely missed the point of this post but ok, it happens to the best of us.

The engine can make a difference because different engines can utilise resources better which can allow for the use of higher res textures at a decent fps. Sure an engine doesnt stop someone from using high res, but it might not be as at a high fps.

Sitting on my at 46GB. No need for an SSD, either, data loads just fine.

so u play on hdd?
im having problems with my ready button greyed out for 2-3 minutes every single time in lobby. So i did some research and found out that in payday 3 they preload the maps in lobby. And after the load is finish then the ready button can be pressed. Thats why i think its because i downloaded it to hdd and not an SSD my map load slower.
