^Sometimes I wonder why I bother making the news...

Anyway, here's some food for thought article:

Game File Sizes May Skyrocket with Unreal Engine 5’s Nanite, Says Developer

*snip*

Of course they will get bigger. I'm fully expecting 200GB installations on the next gen AAA games, with up to 500GB in extreme cases.

Which will make download size explode, too. Hope you don't have restrictive data caps...

500GB?! You're insane .

Keep in mind that those games will also launch on consoles, and the PS5 only has 825GB of space (minus whatever the OS and system updates takes). They won't allow games so big.



Please excuse my bad English.
