Street Fighter V File Size Is Not 6.4 GB For PS4, It's A Lot More

Remember the 6.4 GB file size reveal for Street Fighter V? Well it wasn't correct, and is actually a much bigger download.

12 gigs is still very small compared to most other retail games. Games are so large now that even 2TB isn't enough these days.. I constantly have to delete games but I usually just delete games I beat already or games I'm not planning to play soon.

[DarkOcelet]

People still need to be reminded that this is 12 gigs without the Story Update thats coming in June.

That update alone will most likely be 10 gigs.

[pompombrum]

Yup look at MK, that was like 40gb, I imagine a good half of that was because of the cinematic story.

[XtraTrstrL]

Also, without the day 1 update for legacy controller support and whatever else is packed in it. So expect the initial size on day 1 to be over 24-26+GB. 12.4GB + 6.4GB + 4+GB. Then first DLC character in march, and whatever alt costumes/stages may come inbetween then and the story update in June. And only growing from there.

I forgot about that lol. No wonder it's so small. Thanks for reminding me

@aiBreeze yup, i wish we had the option to uninstall the story to save some space.... I never went back to it after finishing it.

Or the option to uninstall certain certain content from any game, really, like Battlefield 4's campaign, or Dragon Age inquisition's multiplayer.

Character models are around 200mb each, 98% of that is the textures. Stages are about double that. This is fighting game, not an RPG. All indications right now are that story will be done comic book style with slides, so don't expect 20 gigs for that either.

15 gigs of MKX is video files. While GGXrd is ~10 gigs for everything.

[MoveTheGlow]

Yeah. I often get physical games, actually, and it's being encouraged by Amazon Prime discounting physical pre-orders and orders until two weeks after release by 20%. I still have trouble keeping digital games on my HDD!

Thank goodness for game sharing without DRM, though. Glad to lend a copy of a game to my bud, and I'll probably bring SFV over to his place to throwdown.

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

Yeah I have a 2TB drive and I'm down to around 500 gigs, and that's with 4 or 5 games deleted.

[Lonnie18]

Even if it's twice the download size that's not alot more, pretty small actually!

[higgins78]

I don't like to say I told you so, but...

i just swapped out my 2tb hdd for a 1tb ssd (850 evo) ...best upgrade imo, totally silent system now and the boot/ui/games are so much faster :)

[tee_bag242]

The SSD costs as much as a playstation 4. Yet the Playstation 4 is limits the SSD being SATA 2. You've better off with 2tb to install games.

[weirdo]

cost wasn't an issue. even with sata limitaion, the difference in speed is huge. i also love the zero noise. it all comes down to personal preference, and i prefer the 1tb ssd over the 2tb hdd solution.

Why is so much being made of this? How many articles are there going to be about the file size for SFV? It's another game. Surprise, it comes with some GBz.

[Thisgengaming]

Maybe because it was wrongly reported as being 6.4 GB? A lot of people like to know what the file sizes are before downloading.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

There were more than a few articles on that number in the first place, is my point.

[psnoob]

I like games with small installs. All devs need to cut HD vids. It is ridiculous game sizes are increasing so much and they want to us to go digital lol.

Physical disc is a must for me so that I can install uninstall games whenever I like to play but I like downloading games which I play every now and then and do not like to delete. So they need to keep the game sizes in check

[Marugo]

Its time to upgrade for ps4 1tb version

[lnfiniteLoop]

for a beat em up 10GB-12GB is the norm...

[Rookie_Monster]

Day one for me regardless of file size. MY internal PS4 HDD has plenty of space.

[NeoGamer232]

Mortal Kombat X is 31.2 GB on PS4. Street Fighter V is 12.4 GB? wtf?

[CertifiedGamer]

Mortal Kombat has a story line that is factioned as a film practically since WB owns it, while Street Fighter 5 has a story line that is more gaming traditional meaning pick your character beat the game and see the ending.

[NeoGamer232]

MGS 4 had hours of 720p cut scenes and it was only 26.4 GB on PS3.

I doubt Mortal Kombat X remotely comes close to the cut scene time from MGS 4.

[Loadedklip]

Are we judging games based on file size now? Super Mario 3D World is an incredible game this gen and its less than 10 gigs I believe.

If the game is amazing, that's all I care about.
