68 GB ! x_X

[Kopseer]

I've noticed that a few other "W10 exclusives" are also quite big. GoW is over 50GB, Forza was 20GB and now this @ 68GB.

I'd like to play all these games but good grief they take up a lot of space. Could it perhaps be because of uncompressed assets or something :?

*Unrelated: yay for Steam release \:D/

And DOOM is 62GB, PAYDAY 2 is 31GB, R6 Siege is 40GB and Witcher 3 is 49GB. What's your point? Games aren't really getting smaller.

That is the most likely cause. This game uses live action video in parts and it's hard to get high quality video using high compression.

Those are streamed though.

Hitman - 50 GB

Hmmm, I think I might've only remembered the compressed download sizes for my games haha.

1TB SSD not gonna hold it though, might have to RAID 10 some HDDs :P

Oh, well never mind then. LOL

Yeh its big but thats probably due to the movies....I would really like if the game came out on blu ray, just like the making of extras are in the collectors edition

Again, the live action scenes are streamed and not on disk.

Hmm, interesting, so why does the game take up so much space? Poor compression? Even if there were 4K textures, the game cannot take so much space...its nearly 70 gb...

Why is DOOM close to the same size? I don't know. Get used to games getting bigger and bigger, it's not really a problem. Remove other games if you don't have enough space, or purchase the retail Collector's Edition if you have a bad connection. It will be the same price as the Steam version, but also include a Steam key and some extra physical stuff.

Well first of all doom is more than 25 gigs smaller and has not only a very lenghty singleplayer campaign but also a multiplayer and snapmap aswell. It runs on id tech6 which uses megatexutres, same as previous engine introduced. You remember rage and the evil within? Those games took quite a lot of space too. But why quantum break? The engine isnt using any kind of this technical feature and is not looking anywhere near as good as doom for example.

DOOM is 62GB, which is not 25GB smaller than Quantum Break's 70-ish.

I can't say why Quantum Break takes up as much as it does, but it doesn't really matter. There's nothing anyone can do about it and games today does tend to be big - and they're not getting smaller either.

Like I said, either remove other games if you're short on space or purchase the retail copy if your connection is slow. Problem solved.

Guys, if they add the “Quantum Break Episode Pack” which includes the video episodes to download you are talking around 121 gigs or more (if they allow them for PC). On Xbone the game was about 46 gigs plus 75.62 if you wanted to download the "Quantum Break Episode Pack" making the total for this game 121 gigs. Glad I have 1 TB! :)

[Damien Azreal]

I will always find this funny.

I still remember people complaining when games became larger then 1 gig. And when they topped out over 10 gigs... oh my god.
As technology advances the size in which games require will go up. Regardless of the length of the game itself.

The Evil Within... over 50 gigs. DOOM, over 60. BioShock Infinite with it's DLC... over 40. Last few Call of Duty titles... over 50 to 60.
It's really not surprising that games these days require more space. It really should be expected at this point.

i'm playing batman arkham knight currently: 55 gb
gta 5: 66gb+
mad max: 30gb+

and almost every game else,also atleast 25gb+,so why are you even complaining? Is that big of a problem to wait 1 more hour to downloadthe game?
