Starfield download size is ten times bigger than Skyrim

Hey, you. You’re finally awake. Let me tell you a tale of videogame storage wars. From colossal, snow-capped mountains to verdant woodland and bustling towns, Skyrim’s 15 in-game square miles are crammed with quests, treasure, and places to explore. All that for a mere 12GB. A decade on from Skyrim’s release, Starfield wants to pick up where it left off. Swapping woods and mountains for nebulae and asteroid belts, Bethesda’s latest exploration-focused game clocks in at an enormous 125GB.

That’s a pretty hefty increase. But it’s not just Bethesda and Starfield culpable for ballooning storage requirements. The Star Wars Jedi Survivor system requirements, for example, stipulated a whopping 155GB spare space, a far cry from the now-modest Skyrim PC specs. It's a clear industry trend: triple-A games getting bigger all the time.
