Are game file sizes getting too large?

Forza Horizon 4 was 94.5GB and FH5 is currently 175 and getting slightly closer to 200 every month so it is definitely getting a bit much since FH6 could end up over 250. There have been recent advancements in keeping file sizes down though so at least the rate of increase has slowed down lately.

All because of the inner detail in cockpit view I'd reckon. GTA7 is ballooning in the same way, a few cars release and it's another few gb but they managed to get the ps5 version compressed to i89gb over the ps4s 110 gb so there is something to Sony hardware saying that file sizes would reduce this gen but it seems devs are lazy.

Yeah 5 has close to 900 cars now and is still getting some new ones every month so that alone is adding a lot of extra data over time. It might reach over 1000 by the end and 6 should for sure have over 1k so over 200GB for that seems guaranteed at the very least. For the devs part Call of Duty isn't as outrageous with space as it was a few years ago so that's something.
