Holy Call of Duty size!

PS5 Pro still has a decent chunk of space left, but I doubt ill get to this game anytime soon

That's quite big, I think Crimson Desert was the biggest file-size I've seen so far on PS5 (that I've played) it was 150GBs. But to be fair it's a huge game and packed with incredible details. I'm looking forward to seeing the Grand Theft Auto size.

Larger than FFVII Rebirth?! I was going to do the Steam version anyways but that's crazy!

Why not on a disc? Still would need the HDD space, but at least it would just be updates that need downloading. I'll just sit it out and wait if they eventually release it on a disc. If not then only on a steep digital discount in the distant future. Same goes for gta6. Fire emblem is keeping me busy anyways, that game's looooong

Not quite the absurd size as CoD (those will routinely take up 200GB+), but that is a pretty big file for a linear single-player game. I think Wukong was somewhere in that ballpark, too.

@wildcat_kickz Why is Call of Duty that big? is that just the campaign/levels? isn't the majority of it stored somewhere on a server? or are they frequently adding content and causing it to balloon into that massive file-size.

I wonder if it'll get a physical copy. I know BM Wukong got one few months down the road. And that one was around 105gb I think. I would love a steel book for this game.

They’re unwilling to use two discs, so I’m unwilling to buy.

It’s a shame, I was looking forward to this. Oh, well!

Game better look and play stunning for that.

@GirlVersusGame It's a few different things and I don't want to give the impression that I'm an expert in any way. That said, from what I understand, CoD is notorious for not compressing their files as much as others, but they also have an insane attention to detail for things like audio, textures, etc. Audio is frequently one of the largest components for file size and CoD goes to extreme lengths to have very situational audio (gunfire for each gun in a small room, medium room, large room, outside, etc.).

On top of that, you basically have three or four games rolled into one: campaign, MP, Warzone, DMZ.

They manage that by making each game mode optionally installed, though there is shared data that is always installed.

All of this is to say that you don't need to have the entire game installed at the same time, but each section is pretty huge on its own, anyway.

That's a lot of space you need to have for phantom blade zero.the game looks really good and stylish. Word up son

Man these massive download sizes are a nightmare if you have a data cap or live in an area where the Internet speeds aren't very high.

Pretty standard these days, it’s not a massive size.
150 Gb or even more would be something special.

@wildcat_kickz Not an Expert, and you provide an Expert answer thank you. When I tried Call of Duty it had the campaign and some form of multiplayer. That was the first Modern Warfare, it makes sense if like you said they pack in multiple modes now and aren't compressing their games as much as other studios. I remember back on Diablo 4 someone in Iowa spent days downloading the game and I saw 'I'm finally coming online', as if by clockwork Blizzard dropped a big update and they had to wait even longer. It's hard to believe but dial-up still exists in some places, mostly in America/Canada. Gifs on Discord were giving him lag. I like cat gifs and each time I posted one it was like a LOIC DDoS knocking him offline.

Luckily I bought a 4GB HD a year after PS5 released. So I'm good. One of the best investments I've done. I just delete games that I know I won't be playing again

Well damn. Guess i shell be deleting some stuff then.

@GirlVersusGame Crimson Desert at 150gb? Its around 80/90gb on my PS5.

@get2sammyb I was aware, this just makes it even more annoying that they just couldn’t do a two disc release. I’d have bought it at launch, but I won’t do an indefinite rental for a game like this.

Thank you for the update! This one hasn't really been on my radar. I'll review PushSquare's previous coverage once I can turn on my computer's sound for some vids.

@DennisReynolds Is it fully update and current? I deleted it a couple of days ago, there was no way I was going to finish every little thing after the story. I'm even holding off on the DLC and going to focus more on Warhammer Survivors. It was a great game, but really long. I don't even mind long games, it was massive. Then seeing the stats at the end was the confirmation I needed to move onto the next game.

So, no way to buy it, just rent it. Will wait till I actually intend to play it or for a deeeep sale.

@DennisReynolds 'Every version of the game requires a massive 150 GB SSD to handle its seamless open world' - Does that mean I was seeing the game uncompressed when I was deleting the game/it's updates? and you are seeing it compressed because for you it's installed and for me it was the uninstall figure?

I have 50 games installed on my Pro and there's still over 800GB left. lol

Non issue if you ask me.
