I happened to delete a few things earlier so I've got plenty of room ready for what's coming over the next few weeks.

I always get confused here. I did the pre-install on Xbox with Game Pass. Will it automatically do this preload or do I need to manually go in the Xbox app and do it myself?

Downloaded. It's very, very small than I expected on Xbox.

It's one of my fav games on 2021.

I had the placeholder installed of 200mb. Just started up the xbox and it started downloading the 17gb.
But sometimes it can be abit iffy. Just check it extra

Been looking forward to this for a while. Me and my "quad" are always on the lookout for co-op games since we bounced off Warzone. This one has a gorgeous art style and I'm hoping it's as fun as previews have shown. Anxiously awaiting reviews now.

Very excited for this game, and not a bad size. I also did the Flight Simulator Preload, and it was like 20mbs? So I guess it's coming in hotter, as It's supposed to be 80+GBs.

Depends on when a game goes Gold really. Some games are bit earlier. Others abit later. But Flight Sim will be soon also

The Ascent

Those recommended specs feels incredibly high, and on it's steampage there is an additional note that says:

"Recommended Specification listed above allows gameplay experience close to 60 FPS on average while using 1080p resolution and overall "High" settings"

So a 6800 XT or a RTX 2080 is unabe to run the game at steady 60 FPS on 1080p? This does not make any sense.

It was up on the PC app to download about a month ago (the whole thing not just the a few system files)

Interesting; haven't most games been the same size?

Maybe next-gen only Xbox games are getting the better compression treatment, and cross-gen games are skipping it?

Looks amazing and can't wait. It being available to preload totally jebaited me into thinking it was coming out tomorrow though...why would it be up for preload 15 days before release?

A 2080 can comfortably run it at atleast 1440p, those specs need updating / developer :)
