Bethesda Game Studios hasn't put out anything since 2015's Fallout 4, which is actually a respectably slim 27GB download today (without expansions), so maybe it'll surprise us. Stalker 2 could be an unexpected triple digit-er with all those nice-looking trailers, though we might be waiting longer for that one. Assassin's Creed Mirage will probably be big, though the word is it's aiming for a smaller world than Valhalla and Odyssey. It's nice to see developers taking game size seriously, probably because they've noticed the impact an annoyingly huge download can have on attracting new players.ĭo keep an eye out for the potential data hogs for the rest of 2023. Add up the bottom four games on that list if you haven't even downloaded one Forspoken.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 + Warzone 2 - 98GB.

There are still a few popular shooters that are uncomfortably big, like Destiny 2, CoD, and Rainbow Six, but it's encouraging that they've actually all been bigger in the past and shrunk:

But Activision acted: later that year, it introduced the option to uninstall individual chunks of Call of Duty you're not playing anymore. I raised the alarm back in 2020 when Call of Duty, which had recently also become Warzone, grew into an ungodly 200GB beast. The days of just firing up a game 'on a whim' are basically over.įor a while it seemed like multiplayer game sizes were exploding out of control, too. The growing size of games that I've finished are way less concerning than the footprint of multiplayer games I almost never delete.

Consume 130GB of my computer and see if I care-you're getting deleted eventually. (Image credit: Valve) The good news: Multiplayer games aren't growing (right now)įine, Jedi: Survivor.
