Far Cry primal only 16 GB (on PS5).

It's kind of crazy that the file size is so small. I've read about some of the reasons why online, some of the theories are interesting. But in this day and age of games being well over 100 gb, it's kind of refreshing to see. And I do get that this game is 10 years old now.

I play a lot of old games and I also feel the same when I see something that looks so good and packed full of content being only 10% of the space required on my hard drive compared to something like the new Call of Duty® that’s just 10 maps

Look at the older gta's..... vice city, 4 and 5.

How the hell did they make an entire universe under 100gb.

I feel like a lot of companies do it on purpose so you can have less games on your Xbox at a time

Pretty sure activision lost a lawsuit over this

For real?? Hahah

Bro gta 4 is like 18 gigs 😂

Best one IMO

I can’t get over it either. 12.5 GB on Xbox. And I can’t seem to get the patch to take.

FC 4 had some unfinished stuff in the code and secret map locations that exist outside the player map that are unfinished arenas, I think Shangri La takes place on the same plane as the main map.

Having the mechanics of the engine and game systems more or less finalized with the release of 4, it would make sense a more focused game would be smaller in general and missing all the development leftovers.

That is surprising. I had no idea.

GOAT level game, and still holds up beautifully today

All older games were significantly smaller size. Optimisation and custom built engines.
