Game size discrepancy?

[soulgamer31br]

Im preloding the game now and steam says its a 19ish gbs download, even though the page in the store says the game is 100gbs in size. Has anyone else noticed that? i was expecting a small size difference (like how BG3 says it needs 130gbs but is actually 120ish) but this difference is massive . Is the rest of the game going to be installed later or something?

It's likely just on the off chance they add more content in the future. Take ark survival evolded for instance. EST 40gb size. Game's like 300gb if you install all the maps.

It said around 70Gb to install, but it can be reasonable to download 19 ish Gb of compressed data that will turn into those 70 Gb of installed FREEDOM!

Yeah i asked around on the discord and thats it. On launch day the file will decompress and go around 72gbs of space more or less. Still a bit less than 100, which is a win in my book

maybe updating the game in future requires +25GB of free space, some games do need that huge space for repacking on updating

The 100 GB tag is because of a simple and technical thing that people seems to be ignorant about...

When something is being uncompressed, it becomes TEMPORARLY double the size.

That is because of the temporary files that are being uncompressed..

When you have a file of 60GB~ (COMPRESSED), when you do the uncompressing phase, it will become temporary 100GB~ and then it will resize to what it is supposed to be (60-70Gb~ on a rough calculation)

Yeah that seems to be it. A guy on the discord told me that when descompressing the game will get to around 95 gbs of size, then drop down to 72.
