      Devs have gotten pretty lazy with file size optimization these last couple console generations, now that they don’t need to strictly fit everything on the disc.

      I honestly don’t understand why games don’t simply use something like Android does.

      If I have a 720p monitor, download lower res assets and a smaller game. If I have a 4k monitor, download all the pixels and consume 100gb.

          Big if true! Thanks for sharing, I’ll keep an eye out. The closest thing I’ve seen is Halo Infinite making the highres textures a free dlc

      Yep! 175gb for a single player game right out of the gate.

      Granted, I think most of the size comes from 4K textures, maybe? It really is a good looking game though.
