Star Wars Jedi: Survivor PC Install Size is Daunting at 155 GB
Electronic Arts has updated the listings for PC system requirements for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and the gaming community has reacted to the refresh of the game's minimum installation storage requisite. It calls for a whopping 155 GB of disk space, for the base game alone, not including the expected routine of patches and extra story content (via DLC). The publisher suggests that an SSD is best used for an optimal in-game experience. The slightly older PC requirements specified a minimum of 150 GB for HDDs, and 130 GB for SSDs.
As it stands, the Respawn Entertainment developed action adventure game has one of the larger minimum storage requirements among modern titles - all the more surprising given that it will offer a relatively short and linear single player experience. Current installations of the PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2 will occupy 150 GB of disk space. Jedi: Fallen Order (2019), Survivor's preceding title in the series, demands a comparatively modest install base of 55 GB. It will be interesting to observe whether Jedi: Survivor will drive sales of larger storage solutions - in the recent past, gamers have scrambled to acquire higher capacity SSDs and HDDs in order to accommodate the ever-growing installations and content drops required to play the Call of Duty/Modern Warfare series.
The Steam page for the game has been revised with the up-to-date specification requirements, as of the time of writing these read:
MINIMUM:
Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system

Processor: 4 core / 8 threads | Intel Core i7-7700 | Ryzen 5 1400

DirectX: Version 12

Sadly this does not mean it's 125 times better than Jedi Academy. :(
I don't understand how this would help him download the game faster ?!
155GB games won't be a problem then, it's just that your fiber optic line will be heavily bottlenecked by the drive speed!
It's ludicrous.
11111, I knew it all along! and the green color to match the movies too... hmmm...
:roll:
It all makes sense nowFrom what I've heard/read. It's a side-effect of the necessity of so many disparant parties working on a game concurrently. Assets get re-re-repeated, one chunk of code only slightly different from another, might be repeated dozens if not hundreds of times...
Again, from what I've heard/read. I got curious after games that do not have insanely huge textures, were also inflating. (like Switch games)
It has prickdeto's shituvo so they can keep it:nutkick: ewww + ugh
Remember, this is the same publisher that excused the huge size of titan fall by saying they "didnt compress the audio for performance reasons".
Is no one even trying to use data compression anymore?
Of course, higher compression will often also result in more CPU and GPU usage required but with today's mainstream graphics cards and CPUs, there *shouldn't* be an issue with that, right?
