100 GB? It's OK, I don't need my hard drive for anything else...

100GB, this better be a masterpiece!

[Danyel]

It's not a new thing lots of games use 80gb+

Times are different now. Blazing fast disk space is more affordable than ever. It's the video cards that are out of control. Look for a 4TB Nvme chip now that the sales are happening.

Graphics are what uses so much storage.

? Youre way behind the times as games have been huge in size for many years now. Fallout 4 with high res textures was 100GB nearly 10 years ago. Pick a AAA title at random and its about 80GB at least.

Audio alone takes a ton of unexpected use of space. High fidelity audio, with different languages etc, and for a game like this with many hours of cut scenes = tons of space.

If youre running out of space, get a larger SSD or more..

eg:
1TB for OS and apps (new and fast, same with the game ssd)
2TB for games
1TB for downloads & recent working media. (Your older SSD from earlier builds. Dont tell me this is the first SSD youve ever owned)
10TB+ spinning rust HDD for media storage

I'm mostly just kidding around, I have a similar setup, but yeah these games are whoppers!

SSDs are no longer so expensive. Buy a second one or buy a larger one. Games reaching 100 GB is really nothing new anymore.

Users alleging that this is just how it is are wrong. Games are delivered intentionally uncompressed today in an effort to defeat piracy.

This game doesn't have 100gb of content. Compression would take it to 30-40.

I hear you, and thank God for that.

That's not my point, I have a 2TB Samsung 990 Pro NVMe dedicated just for games, just pointing out how crazy big games have become.

I remember when the majority of games fit on a 700MB Compact Disc. If you would have told me in 1998 that one day a single game will occupy 108GB and you will be able to download that from the internet in practically no time, I would have urged you to stop smoking crack.

I feel for people using a metered connection.

Love the game tho, worth the disk space.

I started playing with Pong. Yes, I know how small they used to be. But look at the graphics from the past and today. It's clear that big AAA games also need a lot of space.
And I have 2 3 TB M.2 for games. One for Steam and the other for Epic, Ubi Soft, Battlenet, PC Gamepass.
