This is BS for a game that is also completely server based. I've played Unreal games that are single player that are no where close to this. Take Grounded for example. It has a similar style and a huge map as well with even more complex game mechanics like building, but it's only 8 GBs. What is going on?!

@jumli7 said in My game is 70GB but my brothers is 26GB:

@realstyli It used to show around 26gb's on PC also and sometimes it changes to that.
Now it's over 80gb's again.
I don't know why it sometimes drastically changes after an update... hmm

It hasn't been that small an install in years on PC (maybe pre 1st Anniversary Update).

Until A Pirate's Life, it was hovering around 45GB, and has grown significantly since then. The Microsoft Store version is currently 79.7GB - not sure if Steam is smaller as I don't currently have it installed.

Just goes to show how much content they've added.

@realstyli that makes sense thx man

@mikester401 the One X is capable of running 4K graphics which the one S isn't and so wouldn't need to download this assets.

Feel like that's a lot of gigamajigs just for 4K though 🤔

Because…

I play on Xbox one X he plays on Xbox one S

Different machines, different specs. The X is able to utilise higher quality assets that would be wasted on the S. The X version is closer to the PC version in that regard, even if it doesn’t match performance.
