One of the advantages brought by the new generation consoles was smooth gameplay in 4K. Knowing this, game developers are now developing their games with a focus on 4K UHD, and this greatly affects the file size. This situation, which is caused by the increase in the resolution of the textures, has made us used to seeing sizes like 100GB.
The file sizes for Horizon: Forbidden West, the next generation game of the next-generation console PlayStation, have been announced. Although the size varies by region, both scenarios result in a loaded download.
Horizon: Forbidden West will download 96GB
The fact that the PlayStation 5 could offer 825GB of free space to users caused reactions. SSD upgrade was possible to increase this size last year and we told you how to do it. Despite this, the download sizes of the games are one of the things that make the players think brooding. When the game launches on February 18, players in the European region will need to download 96GB.
Moreover, this dimension does not include the ‘First day patch’, which will be released on the day the game is released. This patch is likely to be around 10GB in size as well. Although the download for players in North America is around 85GB, the game has a size that cannot be underestimated in both regions.
However, this dimension should be considered completely normal. Because we see graphics that can go up to 4K in new generation games. Even when GTA V debuted on PC in 2015, its size was close to 100GB. Therefore, we can consider it normal for new generation games to be around 100GB in size.
If we consider the storage space offered by PlayStation 5, it is not possible to store more than about 8 games at the same time. Although it doesn’t sound bad to store 8 games right now, the size of the games will increase as the years progress. When 8K games slowly start to show themselves, we wonder how to find solutions for storage.
