Sea of Thieves file size

Possible to see them cutting out Tall Tale content and have that similar to CoD, if you have it installed, its in its own thing. But you can uninstall it to save space. (that depends if the TT content is even big and saves anything.)

But future adds always will build, including them audios/voices, textures and such. (Most of the file size is 4K textures from ships, outfits and weapons as many say.) but who would wanna view this world in low?

But it could be a lot worse...as many complain about recycled content, they could add 100% new stuff that becomes Perm addon...

Ever since Helldiver did some cutting, everyone thinks all games should be able too.

But, if SoT really wants to cut back, they need to separate and allow people to install and uninstall Story driven stuff. Tall Tales being the biggie stuff.
Have a new choice to just play Story driven voyages only. (maybe block off parts the map you wont need to explore when doing them) and once you done them, you uninstall.

Of course that opens more work to do. Now they have to separate updates. One for the main servers, content that wont go away and part of the TT addons, and one just for TT stories.
But everyone seems to want to downsize the game, never seem to see "How" they should or actually can....Im waiting on those so called "pros in the field" to step up.

People who truly want to play this game won't care about the size of the game file.

Nobody truly wants to play this game.

I play games on the Xbox Series X console,
The Xbox Series X is advertised to have a built-in 1TB storage space,
But the player's available space is 802GB.

The game being roughly 100 GB means you can only get 7 other games (assuming they're the same file size). I have Sea of Thieves and it takes up the same as OP's storage.

I have never complained about the size of the game.
If you want to expand the hard drive space of the Xbox Series X console, you need to buy an external hard drive that has been authorized and verified by Microsoft. The price of 1TB is approximately over $150+. Not only is it expensive, but it also has only one interface.
But PC users can expand a bunch of SSDs.

Some people don't have money for SSDs and extra storage.

Not all games can compress files unless the game has a large number of obsolete files in the distribution.

SoT has a TON of useless files. Either they should add all unused content to make the size worth it or just delete those unused files since they'll never get added.

If GTA6 is released. Game files may reach up to 150G+. Should we also request R-Star compression?

GTA6 isn't even released so we don't know how much content is in the game for it to be 150G+.

Nobody truly wants to play this game.

False, if that was true...we wouldnt have complaints about matters of the game. :P

Some people don't have money for SSDs and extra storage.

But they have the money to subscribe to a service to play cloud games, purchase Ingame currency or cosmetics...

SoT has a TON of useless files

Besides textures, what useless files does SoT have? Or rather, content added that 'nobody uses'

The issue with the file size could be solved if they removed old game content they don't let us access. There are hundreds of pieces of clothing, equipment, and weapons that are in the files that we do not get access to. They could probably easily clean it up.
