Is this game really only ~5GB?

[deadbeatjeff]

Does it do a large update or something? Or is it really that small?

Deluxe Edition

I have the game and all the DLC and it only uses 5.15 gb.. That may increase with the number of saved games, I only have 3 or 4.

IDK, the last two updates were each over 1 GB in size.

Game download sizes don't represent quality. If you think it does don't get Rimworld lol

You're not actually downloading new files when updating, just replacing the old ones (there are exceptions, of course, but downloading a 1GB update does not mean your game folder is now 1GB heavier)

Its not the size of the boat, its the motion in the ocean! like.. you know.. how well it sails..
which isnt exactly the speed of the boat either... the best is most probably the unsinkable ocean rescue ones which are fully sealed and can roll 360..umm yea!

That's true. Even with the updates, the total space this game takes up on my PC is 5.276 GB.

It's really compressed. The game have decent amount of content imo. And when you update, just replace old files with new ones when Fronteir fix bugs or something similar. Obviously if they release new DLC, this yes add more size

Anyway, don't worry about that, the game have nice content and size don't represent quality, trust me. If you like it, just buy it
