Control Ultimate Edition PS5 Size Is 42% Smaller Than Xbox Series X Due To Kraken Compression Technique

The game is 25gb on PS5, and 42gb on the XSX/S.
Due to differnces in compression techniques.

Crazy how much a differnce that can make.

Doesn't seem they are employing the Xbox Series X's compression capabilities to it's fullest extent, it's the same size as the Xbox One version, I expect that to end up being common as the development platform between the Xbox Series X and Xbox one are fairly similar.

BCPack does provide higher levels of texture compression than Kraken (50% vs 20-30%). - Although Kraken could be more comprehensive as it's not limited to just texture data.
