It's gonna be released in early access, probably going to get bigger.
It's already 5x bigger than the Forest, that's only 4gb.

Graphics are most of a games size these days, not content. It's important to distinguish the two are linked, but not exactly directly correlated.

As mentioned above, how a game handles lighting, textures, and the graphics in general is where 95% of a games size comes from.

I did a stint in college for game design when I was younger, and I was shocked how demanding a few lights and shadows could be using the unreal engine. Which is why most games use fake shadows, light rays, and reflections.
