Destiny 2 Shadowkeep will require a total of 165gb storage space
- Thread starter Strakt
- Start date
It's not content. Just pre-rendered movies and uncompressed audio.
You'll end up downloading far more than 165GB if you end up playing the Stadia version regularly.
This doesn't bother me at all because this will be on my 500GB NVME. I already have D2 installed on it anyways.
I actually might get another Microcenter brand 250 GB NVMe just to move D2 onto.

You base your game purchases off of the amount of storage they take?
That's a new one. So many ways to combat storage space if on console, or PC. Aside from just buying more room, I'll never understand people that let tons of games - ones they never play anymore (or hardly) - installed on their platforms. Just... free up space.
People want their 4K textures, uncompressed audio and unique assets for everything, and so you're fucking getting it.
I've got a 256 NVME I'm not doing anything with, maybe I'll get an enclosure and use it with the XBO X specifically for D2.
I want to have my cake and eat it too!
I want a massive game with almost every location in D1 brought forward to be on one bluray!
This is 2019. This is the price for visually impressive, massive AAA games. This is an FPS MMO.
I have just a passing/limited interest in Destiny 2. I own a PS4 Pro and Xbox One X with limited space available. I'm not interested in dedicating that much space to Destiny 2 (approx. 3-4 times most games), so I'll pass.
Destiny specifically won't be sold physically anymore since the base game is free.
They're using an SSD, I can't imagine it being too huge due to the costs of SSDs. 1-2 TB at most is my guess.
I could see them having an add on slot where you can add an additional SSD to the PS5.
even with prices coming down its still $100 for 1tb abouts. I'd have to think it comes with 512gb-1tb with the possibility to upgrade to 2-4tb.
1. Delete games you're not playing.
2. Download thing.
3. Go to work, sleep, play another game, paint, do anything else.
4. Play thing.
I can't really sympathize with the proclaimed woes of large download sizes. If your internet is especially garbo then fair enough, otherwise, there are many ways to not make an issue out of it.
If it's enough to dissuade you from purchasing a game, I highly doubt you were that interested in playing to begin with.

Well that's unfortunate - it's a fun game.
Still, I find it hard to believe you have two consoles chalked full of games you play everyday. Impressive...
Thats huge. I have gigabit internet but the playstation network caps the speed at 300mbps. Might as well play on pc with a controller.
I can't imagine next gen game sizes.

Counterpoint: when Luke Smith and Mark Noseworthy need to make statements about how big the game is now and how it can't "grow forever" (talking specifically about file size, mind you) it makes me sad that the the evolution of the game as one giant thing with all of the environments and activities from Destiny 1 and 2 (and the inevitable follow ups) presented in one cohesive package is being stymied by everyone who complains about file sizes.
Well, Bungie's intent is to make Destiny an MMO. Most people who play MMOs tend to focus on one - mine will be Destiny.
I don't see a reason to uninstall/reinstall Destiny as a big fan.
I forgot that my computer had an NVMe Slot, so now I've got a 256gb dedicated gaming SSD (which will probably just be for DOOM and Destiny 2).
It's not just about storage, but also data caps.
My old plan that would have taken up almost 2/10 of my data for the month.

Loot boxes don't exist in Destiny 2, at least not ones you pay for with real cash. Educate yourself, please. You can only buy what you want, direct.
All those extra GBs...it's almost like they secretly packed all of Destiny 1 in there.
Imagine if you booted up Shadowkeep for the first time and you saw this:
(ignore the Almighty, it was just on the base image I used for the mockup and I couldn't be bothered to edit it out. Then again, it would be cool to have a strike, etc. set there...)
All the patrol locations, strikes, raids, etc. from D1 all there and playable in 4K for the first time, in addition to all the new content. It would be the craziest surprise. :D

I heard they're using a hybrid of some sort, an SSD coupled with a standard HDD. So it'll probably be an SSD that's large enough to load the entire current game into for streaming/ no load times (maybe 500GB), coupled with a 1-2TB regular HDD for storage. But if Destiny is 165 GB already, makes me wonder how large next gen games will be. It's gonna be insane.
500GB wasn't enough this gen and with next gen only that much is unthinkable. It has to be 1TB minimum and even that would run out fast if games are gonna be 100GB+ going forward (which as this thread shows, along with games like FFXV and Gears 5, they already are).

It's long since time to upgrade, my man haha. I have a buddy in my raid group who also has the same HDD you do and there are times where we all decide to play other games and he can't play them because he uninstalled it to make room for something else.
Get a 2 TB (1 TB honestly isn't even enough in this day and age unfortunately) hard drive when they're on sale and you'll be glad you did, it's so much better not having to worry about figuring out what games to keep installed.
Do you honestly think that they're just delivering texture assets as uncompressed TIFF files and that's why the games are so big?
?
People with shit internet still use the internet, including online games.

If, and that's a big if, all of Destiny is in this new release, I will definitely be back. That would be crazy shit...
