Next Gen NBA2K21 is 121GB on Xbox

Jeez man so if you have the Series S, just CoD and 2K alone is like what? 200+GB of the 300+ you get? That's insane.
We really need portion installs this gen.
Once MyPlayer's all set, I might never load an NBA floor again. But all that data will stay on the SSD.

Not duplicating as many assets (which was never quantified in the first place) is a wash if the assets are now significantly larger.
That claim was dubious in the first place.
I don't think that will happen across the board until cross gen dies. Wasn't one of the advantages of the new CPUs is that they could decompress files much quicker and more efficiently allowing for better techniques and compression without compromise? So until games are built around that from the ground up, I don't see it getting much better.
Maybe I'm conflating stuff I've read over the last year though.
Whatever happens though, I pray developers start building their games in a way that doesn't require redownloading almost the entire file every patch because it's all bundled together or some such
XSX sizes differ from Series S. But the real issue is these publishers, why aren't they supporting more modular game downloads?
This sounds like poor optimisation. Be mindful that there is no option on PS5 to store PS5 games elsewhere (I assume next gen file sizes would be similar). So this is an industry wide problem.
I mean I can pretty easily imagine a sports game set in one room wouldn't have been doing much in the way of asset duplication in the first place. Spider-Man Remastered has higher-quality assets, but is the same size as Spider-Man PS4 with all DLC.
Seagate right now
I was just looking at the expansion card right before reading this comment.
lol perfectSeagate right now
That file size could be an error though, far more expansive games with smaller filer sizes
Damn this is bad news. I bet it's at least 25 gigs in music, they should let us delete the soundtrack to make room. It's Spotify for me after a few days of the same songs plus storage is at a premium.
Clearly because it's three times as fun.
/s in case it wasn't obvious.
For real the storage space is going to be a serious Achilles heel for consoles this gen if things keep going like this. Why does this need to be 121GB? Is it like, 16 languages with uncompressed audio or something?
Extra 50GB is required so the sweat on the players are ultra realistic. /s
Good luck to any CoD + 2K players
I was thinking about picking it up, and this single-handedly guarantees I won't. That size is absurd for what that game is

I remember seeing 2K uses a lot of uncompressed audio.........I would not doubt if that is the case. Because the file size the entire gen has just slowly crept up despite the games looking moderately the exact same all gen outside of 2k14 with the different physics and lighting model
