What? I very much doubt anybody promised that. After all, the games still ship on Blu-ray discs and Blu-ray drives are way too slow to get the data into the RAM. Even HDDs got to their limits, hence why the consoles use SSDs now. Full installs were always going to remain mandatory. The only thing that some people fantasized about was that file sizes of games could get lower because of no need for duplicated data in the game files anymore, but that was a pipe dream when the new games were going to have much higher quality textures and assets that more than offset any gains of removed duplicated data. |
SM PS4 shipped as 45GB+ install, after the day one patch it sits at 50.1GB.
On the PS5 its what? 55GB? That's a 10% increase for what would be something packing higher rez textures and stuff. That's a lot better than I thought it would be.
I would really, really like to know why COD games take up so much space though.
