Possible I guess. I just re-downloaded Battlefield Hardline a few weeks ago to play something fresh and it was 48 GB. I'd like to go back to simpler times when I could pop in a damn disc and play right away.

4k texture files are large. real large.

there is going to be a breaking point though. 100GB for 1 game is asinine. people have data caps and limited hdd space in consoles. what if they just wanted to play in 1080p? why cant they forgo the 4k textures?

100 is pretty ridiculous, devs should find a way to do 60 max.

Why should they be limited?

Higher res textures will need more storage space.

The size is whatever it needs to be. You can't exactly limit that if you want to continue to grow.

I'm not sure they have said yet. I'm guessing 1Tb.

Console manufacturers need to step up the hard drive space... 500GB is clearly not enough, hell 1TB is not enough at the rate we're going

Not really. Change the HDDs yourself and/or you will just need to redownload.

Keep the cost down for those like me who only play 1-2games on consoles a year.

An external hd is a must

Might as well save money on the console hd and get a 2-4 tb hd

Or devs could be more efficient with how much storage their games take. Plenty of games have 4K textures and few seem to have this problem, also it's a racing game bigger games seem to manage just fine with their file size.

Why can't you just buy the disk?

Wouldn't matter

You still have to install games even on disc to play

I had no idea until I finally got an Xbox one

I also learned to not trust some random online from the north named Marcus (markii) Gonzales (gonzo) to gameshare with as he took my money and removed me from Xbox home. That's a lesson learned I guess.
