Starfield install size revealed, available to preload now
Starfield is now available to preload on Xbox Series X/S consoles and PC, meaning we now know its install size. On PC, …
On PC, the game is 139.84 GB. On console, it's 100.19 GB for Standard or 117.07 GB for the Premium Edition
I remember when Titanfall being 50gb sparked an outrage, it's a good thing SSDs are cheap now.
I picked up a 1TB NVMe for literally $38 this week. Absolutely absurd how inexpensive SSDs are right now.
Be careful, most cheap NVMe drives have low endurance. Llike, not "Oh, you're just hand wringing about nothing," endurance ratings but an actually and relevantly low number of terabytes that can be written before the drive becomes failure-prone. They also usually lack a DRAM cache, so certain operations can be as slow as a mechanical hard drive, thereby negating the major advantage of opting for solid-state storage.
Oh yeah, let's create 250GB SSD cartridges per game because thry each cost about 26€
You know how ridiculous that sounds, right?
Yes, that does sound ridiculous, good thing I didn't say it.
Yes, everyone realizes how ridiculous that sounds. Why did you post it?
Also, please don't give EA any ideas.
clickbait is stupid. It's 125GB.
Time for another SSD
We have gone from cartridges, to CDs, to kind-of cartridges.
We have kinda gone full circle! Now we need something lile a holocron or like a Cortana AI chip to store an even bigger amount.I'm here for data holocrons.
Just like set into an interface built into your desk and boom, hard drive.
Make it open up like jedi holocrons and I'll buy 10 just to play with them
Yeah, add to that MSFS with all extensions, and now my 1 TB 970 Pro isn't enough : (
So it's about the size of Baldur's Gate 3... Better have just as much content!
What a weird take.
You can just play a game for fun you know.
Comparison is the thief of joy.
Eh, it's a full priced AAA game. I think it's fair to have some expectations from it.
This is how we end up with 100+ hours of Assassin's Creed
When I got the Series X I thought "oh good, I won't have to juggle my games now that I have so much space."
Dammit.
Do we have any sort of information on how big the Shattered Space Story Expansion is supposedly going to be? Because 30 bucks extra seems excessive, especially when the game is already 70 bucks. Kinda feels like they just want to lure you with the early access, which will likely be a hot mess anyway.
I am going to take a few days and wait on it. The last game I preordered from bethesda was fallout 76, and that was a wake up call.
No one in the video game industry is beyond delivering a poor experience for tons of money.
That game was pretty obvious though. It was purely building on that stupid multiplayer pvp sandbox hype at the time.
yup. I am really excited for this game, but I'll be giving it a few months at least. It's not just 76, FO4 was... fine. Still replay it. But if starfield has to much in common with that gameplay loop I'll probably skip it.
I don't have a lot of patience for AAA releases with a repetitive loop and nothing but better polish to distinguish them from all of the innovative indie games that are out these days.
That sounds like an overly negative take, and it kind of is, but I am definitely rooting for this thing.
Jiminy fuck that's too much
It’s the first time Todd has ever heard someone tell him “Omg it’s so big”
Lmao, I was right in taking a new SSD during the sales
