Amidst the widespread hype surrounding the upcoming sci-fi RPG Starfield, developed by Bethesda, fans were surprised and intrigued to hear that the game would require a whopping 150GB of available storage space.
Bethesda, known for their other popular titles such as Fallout 4 and the Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, recently revealed through their official Twitter account that the game would have huge requirements for storage. With the hardware specifications also released during their press conference, the hype surrounding Starfield has only increased further.
The news of the game’s sizable data requirements has had people wondering just how big the game is going to be and why it requires such a large amount of space. According to Bethesda, the space is needed to make sure that the game can present its visuals and audio with the highest level of quality.
Many people have speculated that the size could be due to the fact that the game is so expansive and full of content. It could be the fact that it is sprawling with intricate details, from NPCs to environment textures. Whatever is inside the 150GB will certainly be worth the wait for gamers.
To put the game’s requirement into perspective, some of the other massive games that have been released lately include the Xbox and PlayStation exclusives: The Last of Us Part II and Ghost of Tsushima: Special Edition, both coming in at around 100GBs.
One thing for sure is that the game will require more than just a large amount of space. Players will need a decent system to run it without any problems. With Bethesda’s revelation of the storage requirement needed, it’s only made gamers more eager to get their hands on the game when it releases.
