    Starfield is pretty huge though isn’t it? I dunno, it feels like if any games should take that much storage space, it’s a massive space game.

      And starfield could easily be way larger. The textures in Starfield aren’t actually that high res (part of why, despite it being a very demanding game, it doesn’t use much VRAM, generally topping out at 8GB)

      The area of space in the game doesn’t cost data like that lol.

      The install size is because of textures and sound files. They don’t know how to compress or optimize files.
