God of War Ragnarok is a massive game based on its file size. The game has received a day one patch already and the final size with the patch is over 100 GB.
Just for context the highest PS4 game sizes files are
1.) 175 GB: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.) 165 GB: Destiny 2 3.) 143GB: NBA 2K23 4.) 105 GB: Red Dead Redemption 2 5.) 102 GB: Final Fantasy XV. If you get the Multiplayer expansion, that’s another 52.11 GB. 6.) 101 GB: Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 7.) 99 GB GT: Sport 8.) 95GB: Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare 9.) 95 GB: Middle Earth: Shadow of War 10.) 86 GB: The Elder Scrolls Online
At 118GB that puts God of War 5: Ragnorok at the 4th or 5th if you factor FFXV’s DLC biggest game size file on PS4
Their compression sucks. I had to delete 5 games to accomodate MW...just so i could replay the campaign. Once done..i deleted again. Thank goodness for fast internet.
don't know about NBA but if I'm not mistaken, CoD have always install all the add-ons and DLCs even if you don't buy them much like unlockables. once you decide to buy, they are instantly unlocked. maybe I'm wrong, I don't know
More than 2x the size of the last one. Assuming they didn't cut corners with optimizing the game and this is supposedly the end of the Norse stuff then it should be due to it being much longer to finish the story properly.
And from what I’ve heard all 9 realms will be exploitable this time. So that’s more than double the 1st games areas. Can’t wait. I litteraly took the whole week off to do nothing but play the hell out of this game.
It's gonna come down to how much they can compress those 4k textures in addition to how much space they can save by not having to duplicate data. Even with compression it's really a tall order given the asset size discrepancy. Especially given how big this game is supposed to be. If they get near 90 GBs that would be legitimate magic.
sorry to respond to an old reply amigo. I agree with your assessment but remember them touting around 23-27% gains in storage using a combination of oodle/kracken. Ok, let's see it. This is a first party IP, no excuses or constraints. Show me this is a ps5 game downgraded to run on old hardware and not brute forcing a ps4 game to look good on the 5
Thought we already knew this, it's just the PS5 file size yet to be announced?
It was always going to be huge on PS4. It only has an HDD which means repeated assets for starters, but this is a VERY tall order for PS4 to run as it is, even despite the differences between PS4 and PS5 versions. Heck, the 2018 game had PS4 at breaking point!
At least this file size is justifiable given the scope of the game, not like the other biggest filed games. COD and NBA should be half the size they are, going by the game you get, but their optimisation is terrible.
This game will be double the size of 2018 GOW. I am thinking 35-40 hours of main story. Let's not forget this was supposed to be a trilogy that has been turned into 2 games so a lot of content and back stories
GOW 40+ hours of main story 10-15 hours of side content
What I love is Cory is the only one with final say on all story aspects and that guy is amazing. I still can't believe he was at square enix and they under utilized him so much. Any GOW related stuff has to go through Cory because that's how much trust Sony has in him and SSM team have some amazingly talented people
Bruh 😳

Still a Whopper of a game, but it will be worth every gigabyte.

There are no excuses Jim and co. You believe in generations? Show me you utilized the PS5. I expect the PS5 file size to be around the rumored 90.6GB.
