Short Friday News #7

If you’re hoping to get Titanfall up and running on a your SSD you’re probably going to want to start packing up some of your files and boxes and shipping them out to the recycling bin.

In response to a fan question on Twitter, Respawn founder Vince Zampella revealed that the final version of Titanfall will be a hefty 48 gigabyte once installed…

The PC version will be a 21GB download, but once unpacked is when it becomes a true titan, taking up a sizeable chunk of space with its whopping 48GB install. While traditional hard drives have never been cheaper, those hoping to squeeze the latest and greatest of multiplayer shooters onto their SSDs for lightning-fast performance may find themselves in a tricky situation.

The actual version downloaded from the Origin digital store will ‘only’ be a 21GB download, thanks to being highly compressed. As we’ve noted recently game sizes are certainly on the rise and it look like it would be increasingly bigger. Only a matter of weeks ago we found out that The Elder Scrolls Online would be a staggering 60GB at launch. How big it will be after a couple years worth of updates and expansion packs in anybody’s guess.
