Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of clues on the way! CTOnews.com May 16 news, today the size of the game is getting bigger and bigger, so that many players' hard drives are overwhelmed. Foreign media PC Gamer today listed the top 10 PC games to be released and to be released in 2023, of which 6 have exceeded the size of 90GB, meaning that the game capacity has entered the era of 100GB, and most players are not ready yet.

Top 10 PC games released (or about to be released) in 2023:

Star Wars Jedi: survivors: 130GB

"Forspoken": 120GB

"Hongxia Island": 100GB

The Last Survivor: part I: 100GB

The Heart of the Atom: 90GB

Diablo 4: 90GB

"Wild Heart": 80GB

Relics of Hogwarts: 73GB

Biochemical Evil 4: remaking: 56GB

Death Island 2: 45GB

Downloading a game with more than 100GB not only takes a lot of time and traffic, but also takes up valuable hard disk space. Sometimes, players even give up trying because the game is too big. This was rare 10 years ago, when high-end games generally had only a few GB.

Why is the game so big now? The main reason, of course, is that the screen and content of the game are getting richer and richer, and more data is needed to support it. Another reason is that some free games continue to introduce new updates and content in order to attract players, resulting in the expansion of the game volume.

According to Steam, the average download speed of domestic players is about 10MB per second, which means it takes about three hours to download a 100GB game. Moreover, half of Steam users only have storage space of 1TB or less, so if you want to play several large games, you may have to delete some infrequent games frequently.

CTOnews.com found that some multiplayer games are aware of the problem of oversize and have taken steps to reduce file size. For example, call of Duty allows players to unload unwanted parts, and Destiny 2 and Rainbow 6: siege are also optimized. In addition, Steam has also launched a storage manager that makes it easier for players to delete games in batches.

The growth of PC games is an inevitable trend, and players can choose larger hard drives or regularly clean up games that they don't play very often. Developers can also optimize game data or provide more flexible installation options.
