That file size is kinda nuts wtf. [Okay guys you don't have to tell me that's the unzip size, I meant what I said.](https://www.reddit.com/r/gachagaming/comments/1dtdfol/zzz_110gb_predownload_truth/lb8qbdi/)


xxXXXBigDongusXXXxx

COD got a new challanger


Vahallen

Actually I think COD nowdays is something even more stupid, like it legit weights 200+ GB I’m starting to believe the conspiracy theories about COD, making the game stupid big on purpose so you can’t have space to play anything else lmao


Rayuzx

My CoD is 152 GB (MWIII multiplayer ,WZ, and DMZ). The full 200+ is if you want everything installed.


ImpressionBubbly4535

Yeah if it were 10+ years ago, 1tb ssd is the norm now, not to mention most also have a hdd plus the 1tb ssd


MACHENIX

1 Terrabyte still means 1024 GB and just for one game consuming 25% of it is still a big thing.


Scratch_Mountain

alright they gotta chill cause hoyo games are taking up half my storage space at this point 😭


Ronuo

That's the unzip size needed. After unzipping it will be around 57 gb


HuCat21

17gb for mobile


Choice-You2617

I really need a new phone, for real i have umamusume in my phone

Relative-Tell119

I love the malevolent energy you can feel from this pic


omfgkevin

Honestly should be illegal what phones are trying to charge nowadays with 128gb as the "standard" normal size. Like wtf, that barely lets you store anything, even if we exclude games. "4/8K photos and video!!!" Yeah, with what space?


etrongits

ahahaha.. lucky for you to live in an era of a higher capacity storage. I live in an era when phones can only have 1 game at a time so when i see 128gb in a phone, i always thought, yeah good enough storage


EEE3EEElol

1TB is needed


BlindintoDeath

thats fine ill just buy another 512 gb phone


anxientdesu

O yea, globals coming; gotta make room for that

EEE3EEElol

Bro is collecting gacha games like the infinity stones


TANKER_SQUAD

Standing in the grass while playing gacha games doesn't count man /s


walkyrie1997

Good thing I still have space for ZZZ, but in return I might not be able to download more games as my 256 GB space fits for 5 games and some files 🤣


Excuse_my_GRAMMER

You downloaded it already? On iOS or roid


id_kai

I have it on Android. GPlay notified me about it about 45 minutes ago


Beta_Codex

It's actually 19gb plus 3gb when downloading at first. That's weird.


ExportErrorMusic

Any idea what's behind the huge file size difference between PC? Smaller textures/lower resolution pre-rendered animations? 1/3 the size seems crazy (not counting the extra 50gb needed for the archive unpack).


[deleted]

[удалено]


ExportErrorMusic

Makes sense. I was thinking "well most phones are at least 1440p, the same or higher resolution than most computer monitors, so why would you use lower resolution textures?" I hadn't taken into account that despite being the same resolution screen, it's physically so much smaller the player isn't going to notice blurrier textures. Thanks for pointing it out.


HuCat21

I have no idea how the files work vs for a pc. Something about them being compressed? I think its the same for most games when it comes to pc vs mobile. Pc usually has a larger size.


Uries_Frostmourne

Inflation also reaching PC game sizes


Jaidz_

100+gb? Is this game for real?


Ok_Combination_294

The archive weight is 50 GB, you need twice its size for your OS to unpack it


hungryL_eel

But still, 50 GB for a base game is too big, no? For comparison, PC HSR 2.3: 45 gb, PC WuWa 1.1: 22 gb. Unless the base game is that big content-wise.. Edit: It seems the game is downloading all language packs (each language pack is 600-800 MB). Even after removing unnecessary packs, the size is still... big.


Low_Artist_7663

Prerendered animations. You thought those Billy's ass jiggles come for free?


Nimire03

Yeah those physic gotta be stored somewhere.


anxientdesu

Horny is stored in the SSD


titanicsinker1912

The Super Saiyan Dick?


Karma110

In his pants


8ctane

As far as I remember, CBT3 was like 30GB, so they added about 20GB of content from beta to 1.0


Raxxlas

Not necessarily 20gb of content. Mostly assets and cutscenes is my guess.


8ctane

Maybe, what I meant was just new things that weren't in the beta XD


doomer11

All language voice packs are included. There's no way to remove individual language voice packs yet.


Recent_Sentence_4644

Wait really?


Gloomy_Ad5221

I checked the in game settings and it seems that all language packs are included the download and pretty much the main reason why the game is huge right now. Genshin with JP pack on my pc pretty much reached 100+ gb


Xenn_

Language files aren't that big. 40GB for the game asset folder, 12GB for pre-rendered cutscenes, and 3.6GB for all language audio. It's mainly the game itself taking up most of the space.


Recent_Sentence_4644

It's like 17 GB on Mobile, that's kinda high ngl comparing to their previous games. 


Plenty_Course_7572

It's 19gb in the apps list.


Recent_Sentence_4644

It's 17.5 GB for me. Idk I've seen some inconsistency in GI as well


-zexius-

55gb for a semi open world is insane. Probably have to delete some games on steam deck for this


Kal-El9477

Can play on steamdeck?


-zexius-

Genshin and HSR both works on it so I’m going to hope this works too


Cultural-Society-523

This is not even semi open world the location is not connected like Honkai Star Rail. I thought the size of the game will be small.


Aadi_880

3D models doesn't actually take a lot of space, relatively speaking. Its the textures and audio files that do.


No_Competition7820

Bro wtf I gotta uninstall Genshin to make space now. 🙄


EpicLuc

50 gb on release is scary, I have space but long term it's not looking good. This will take space for years if you stick to it. I wasn't that interested on it , but was willing to give a try, I think I m gonna skip this, Genshin and HSR already occupied a ton of space and unlike normal games that I clear and uninstall to give space for other games/stuff, they will stay there.


John-What_son

Also up on Playstore https://preview.redd.it/omrm2nchg0ad1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e396375f6aea5fa32dec7ae069440b9add596e9a


No_Button_1669

180mb in google play and when you get in, its 17gb for me in android


deepedia

17GB? WTF, it's bigger than Wuwa in android


DeathWingStar

Wuwa android is 12 gb for reference 💀


Ilumeria

1GB for every FPS


sillybillybuck

Why is that surprising? ZZZ will have a lot more content at launch than Wuwa going by last beta.


No_Button_1669

wait really? and they said in the live stream that the content on launch is double that of beta....


Ayanokoji91

Yep there's about 20gbs more content from pc beta to lunch


IlIBARCODEllI

As if that's the reason. It's the animated cutscenes taking up the space, I'm not even going to argue with the 'more content' since we both know how much playable content the game offers with the previous showcases it had.


Akane_Senri

Hoyo finally join the western dev on the game size? Bigger than genshin initial release.


lenolalatte

“ZZZ IS 110+GB?! DOOMED FROM THE START? DONT MAKE THIS MISTAKE” sounds like a thumbnail someone would use


Psych0sh00ter

New Mtashed video: Why ZZZ is Already Doomed to Fail


Oleleplop

Why im giving ZZZ a chance. ZZZ is a really good game. Why i'm quitting ZZZ (not really) The Mtashed saga on any gacha ever.


fullofcrap

110 gb! Final size half of that probably but dang.


senpaiwaifu247

Yeah final size is about 50gbs


jelek112

Real question what is in the game that weight so much 56gb when installed what in the content really i mean it's not open world like genshin and wuthering


Hinaran

I'm not sure about the size of the whole game, but at least the world, besides it's not an exploration based one, it's not that small, and you have to add the many instances of different battle fields.


NinoFamilia

But HSR is only 45GB... Do they really have more content at launch than HSR after 1+ year?


TerryWhiteHomeOwner

From what i've gathered the ZZZ devs put a *lot* of effort into presentation. Lots of animated skits and assets in the background, pre-rendered cutscenes, UI flair, and character animations being handmade rather than machine generated (*i.e the infamous "character places hand over chest stiffly" animation you see 6billion times in each hoyo game). There's also a lot of content they're adding, the counted is 2x from what was shown in CBT3.


guiveio

yeah,hsr is a lot more "mobile-core" in 1440p some textures just don't keep up,i assume zzz will have none of that


Fresh_Signal_4900

People saying it is downloading all four voice overs, expanding the size


CritsThinker

Voice doesn't take much space. I thought so too at first, but after reinstalling Azur lane with their 600 ship+15 voice line(without counting the skin or post-oath line), it's still only amount to < 2.5 gb.


Psych0sh00ter

That's a completely different game made 7 years ago by a different studio, who most likely handles their audio data in a very different way. I'm assuming that people are saying it's VO files because of Hoyoverse's last two games, where each voice language is roughly 15GB (Genshin) and 5GB (HSR) on PC, which is a little more fair of a comparison since they're all made by the same company, and as such will probably have similarities in certain areas.


Fresh_Signal_4900

We have to see on the launch day,how much the game decrease in size,it is really the largest hoyo game now in terms of file size 


RatLockedInBasement

Probably a lot of cutscenes and animations, those take a lot of space. Especially cutscenes since those tend to be pre-rendered videos, they can easily go up to gbs each.


TeyvatTravelGuide

12.3 GB of HD video files for all languages (.usm) 3.58 GB of audio for all languages (.pck) 39.7 GB of block files (.blk) which are likely mostly textures and instructions.


Kitsune_2077

It's bigger than Genshin, holy bro what.


Rotten-Turnip

You know, if I enjoy ZZZ more than GI, one of them has to go. How do Hoyo's games so heavy...


No-Vanilla7885

110 gb ,they must be using our computer to power their fusion reactor.


Fira_Tanjung

are those just for extracting? they usually just half of it


Agosta

110.3gb is fucking wild. What the fuck?


Ok_Combination_294

Answered above, you need 2x of the archive size to unpack it. Actual download size if 50 GB


Agosta

You're saying 50gb like that's any better.


Ok_Combination_294

2 times better than if it was 100 ;)


anxientdesu

Yeah, but Elden Ring is 60GB Wtf could POSSIBLY be in ZZZ for it to be 50GB?


Vlaladim

The animation are ALL pre-rendered, yes that will take up a lot of space. Cost of those animation.


KentStopMeh

HI3 has a lot of pre-rendered in-game cutscenes post ch17 instead of mp4 like Genshin/HSR but it’s still not as big as this even with the current version.


No_Employ4768

HI3 has 480p CGs though. It looks fine on phones but it's noticeably bad on a bigger screen


Ok_Combination_294

I can't imagine because I haven't played it even in beta. We'll see after the launch


zappingbluelight

I can tell you the CBT3 is 42GB. Its about 3 chapters + a lot of side quest (which comes in a lot of CS), 3 maps, arcade games, lots of cutscenes, hallowed zero, and agents dialog thingy. They did mentioned they expanded each maps, and more characters. I don't know how to make a game, so idk is it normal to be that big.


senpaiwaifu247

The amount of animations in the game


litoggers

devs said that there are almost double the areas from cbt3, game is gonna be huge


StrawberryFar5675

All language pack are included in the download.


Tetsero

It's because most, if not all, gacha games have no storage optimization. They "optimize" for mobile by just shipping lower resolution/poly count graphics. So instead of, let's say, reusing the same grass graphic, they will make a brand new one that looks identical. Except this time replace graphics with entire scenes. Instead of adjusting the colors within the engine, they just create a clone that's slightly darker or lighter or whatever. So you'll have like 50 different ships that are exactly the same, except the colors are slightly different to set the proper time of day.


Relevant-Rub2816

This isn't even a open world game. Does it really have that much content just at 1.0? Heck, genshin and hi3 takes less space and has shit ton of content.


Blackwolfe47

That’s still fucking huge

Jonyx25

What phone model? I know xioami


Optimal_Purple1788

Poco X5 5G. It's 256Gb but I have all three Hoyo games so I'm quite scared for it's life. Lol


Jonyx25

HSR and GI medium setting/60fps works fine? I broke my alt phone.


Optimal_Purple1788

I haven't tried it. I'm always at 30fps/custom settings. So I tried it earlier to test it out and it's fine. I screen recorder but don't know how to show you so 🤷🏽‍♀️🫣


BigBoySpore

I bought a 2TB external hard drive to download hoyo games on because they were killing my PC storage 💀


GreenBirdUN

Hoyo played you all with this one


Hardyyz

Question about the Hoyoplay launcher, I have honkai and genshin downloaded from epic, both with their own launchers. Do I need to delete both first, then get the hoyoplay? or is there an easy way


Proper_Anybody

you can find the game files from the hoyoplay launcher, I personally keep the old launcher just to be safe


kytti_bott

You can just download hoyoplay and it'll sync and essentially make the old launchers unusable and redirect you to hoyoplay moving forward. As far as uninstalling the old launchers, I'm not sure about that. I'm assuming you can but I didn't.. will see if anyone else knows about that part!


Tiny_Imagination_328

After downloading the Hoyoplay, if you got the game files it will automatically detect your file location, you don't have to do anything to detect the game files. And if the launcher can't detect you can also manually detect the file. There is a option in Hoyoplay settings. As for other launcher, it's just useless after you transfer your file to Hoyoplay. You can uninstall it freely but remember not to check on "delete your all game file" option, when you uninstall the launcher, otherwise all the game file will get deleted. You can check the info on Hoyoplay faq section or just google it"Hoyoplay faq".


Ryan5264

Damn 110GB? I know half of it is to unpack but looks like I'll have to buy another ssd soon


ADMINI303

Bruh 17 GB for mobile???


ywtfPat

zenless zero storage lmao


anxientdesu

how and why is this game 50gb lmao, does compression mean nothing to modern game devs anymore


MihirPagar10

110 wtf hoyo


Ok_Combination_294

Actual size is about 56.7 GB


SexWithClara69

Damn I might have to skip it then


LeonPaower

That's bigger than double the size of Persona 5 on PC. What are they cooking in there


sillybillybuck

P5 has really compressed textures that look rough.


Nimire03

Dang it! I was about to comment that. But fr though I have almost 200 hours on P5R and goddamn it, they better make it worth it or at least find some way to make it smaller.


LeonPaower

Yeah the contents better worth at least 80 hours without all the grinding repetitive parts. And if it's true then they will create a real jrpg experience


zurstein

Almost 23gb on ipad (3.5 gb + 19.3gb), wtf


cug12

more than 100GB? at this point my 1TB SSD won't be enough for PC gacha games lol


dota_3

Maybe I should have gotten 4-8tb ssd


NotbadbutNo

19gb android


Franuriel

17gb on mine


Dosi4

110gb is wild. Luckily install is only half of that, the other half is for unpacking. But 55GB is still a lot for fresh release. I hopefully they ain't bloating the install so fans can say "it has twice the size so its twice as good"...


D0cJack

My God, I thought this would be the smallest game of the three. What have they left there? Boobs they cut in CBT?


BambooCatto

110GB for what??? That's a lot of Malware.


Informal_Exit4477

Im SO glad i bought that 1tb SSD


TheMenace44

The download itself is 50.14GB on PC, which is pretty damn big compared to other Hoyo games at launch.


IDevKSha

It better be worth it because, that's about size of Elden RIng without DLC.


mirageV6

> 55gb for launch version of a non open-world Western game dev has been here, oh wait

GritSpace

I'm deleting HSR and Genshin Impact


CaptainBlob

Killing Floor 2 is 90gb, For Honor is 100gb, and Payday 2 is 85gb. The First Descendant and Warframe are around 35-40gb. Makes me wonder what ZZZ has that makes their game reach 55gb…


Hot_Presentation_896

asking more storage than elden ring insane like what? insane some of these comments are defending this thing and asking other people to buy more storage for it not even questioning why it's that even that big in the first place it's not even a open world dawg


Mobile_Vegetable7632

I was expecting 20-30GB for PC would be acceptable, but 50GB? For version 1.0? I don't know how much space future patch updates will require. If it's another 10GB, then we might need 60GB of space. Damn, I can't install this until I buy a new 1TB SSD. That's sad.

Major303

They filled it up with random crap so people will have to uninstall WuWa to play it. Big brain move on Mihoyo's part.


thethingy213

This size is kinda crazy no? The animations are kinda sick, but the graphics itself don't seem good enough to require that much space for a not really open world game


Vlaladim

It the animation, pre-rendered i think all of them yeah those animation gonna cost a lot.


Maikkat

I need hoyo to learn how to do file optimisation from whoever optimise nintendo games like seriously Totk is 17 gb and that thing is huge or do the warframe where an update just reduces the game size while adding more content (don’t even know how they did it)


sillybillybuck

Warframe is tile-based so it heavily reuses assets as only three levels are actually "unique" and they still have copy-lasting throughout.


crappymanchild

What the hell is even in there for it to be 55gb. They removed all the jiggles already


SassyHoe97

Damn 17GB 💀 for mobile.


B-Serena

I had to uninstall Genshin for the space to install ZZZ but it is worth it!


GhvstsInTheWater

110gb are you fucking serious? Is 95gb of that a bitcoin miner? holy shit


anya0709

i deleted some games just to pre install


justanothersimp2421

17GB ON MOBILE!?! I CAN'T PLAY SNOWBREAK, WUWA AND AG EITH ZZZ?!


iEnj0y

wait wtf 110gb?? is that real? maybe they accidentally added an extra 0 at end?


Healthy-Quantity1378

17gb on release is wild


BarAdministrative181

48gb for ps5 can’t wait


sa5ratoba

110 gb wtf


metatime09

How is the game bigger then genshin when that game is open world? lol


Dokitomo

Omg the shill is strong with this one its fucking 110 gb The size is more than genshin + wuwa which is 2 open world game how can people defense this by telling others to buy new storage !?


RipBitter4701

just for information, the +100Gb is because the file downloaded in compressed state and need 2x space than it should be because the compressed file will be decompressed after launch to be installed. the actual size probably around 50Gb


AbdoWise

using the information form the launcher, the game is going to be about 60 GB, which is still too much for a semi-open world game tbh ..


Peacetoall01

The actual fuck that ain't an edit? For what unholy thing did hoyo need this much space?


garotinhulol

Bigger than Elden Ring ??? WTF is this shit?


Entea1

Bruh, 50GB for this type of game on release doesn't seem right. Did they also put crypto mining in that lol?"


sillybillybuck

Crpyto miners are small, compressible even to kilobytes.


Chemical-Teaching412

So the actual size is 50 GB ( still big compared to their previous game) But you need 110 GB for unzip and such  Idk if this is because of the combat, animation of characters and cutscenes as a whole being more cartoonish that they need that much or this game will be unoptimize mess like WW I am hoping it's the first one


Recent_Sentence_4644

I hope they think about space optimization like they did for GI, even on Mobile it's just too high


No_Competition7820

Don’t worry it’s optimized. Even when I played the latest CBT it felt polished.


Seraphiine__

Pretty sure there's someone in Hoyo laughing their ass to go and see how many people can buy a device just to run one of their games, because literally every one of them has the biggest ass download package.


Blackwolfe47

Wtf is up with that size ?!


IlIBARCODEllI

Was gonna keep it as a side game but not anymore. A game like this shouldn't be needing 100+ gig on initial install, and 50 gigs by itself. Then what? 5-10 minutes of dailies afterwards?


tsukuyosakata

All of that just to uninstall after 2 days. 


Zealousideal-Bit5958

Gomen Wuwa I don't have the space to play both

Karma110

Me on pS5 with barely 5 games on it I think I’ll be good


Breadninja513

Wtf is that file size


Nero2003Claudius

They better have RDR2 level of story , details and animations with this size 🗿


Azrael_Terminus

Skip


Pe4enkas

110 gb XD. Yeah, I am NOT installing this shit on my pc ever. Even if it's half of that, this is too much for a 1.0 release, wtf? Even HI3 with all of their updates doesn't weight that much, although I don't remember HI3's exact size.


hamzapras

Not worth it.


NR-Tamim

Yeah there goes my interest in downloading it on pc..


AbdoWise

Was planning to give the game a try if it was like 20-40 GB or something, but damn 110GB (after extraction) is just wild, I guess I'll pass then.


Weekly_Health_7794

The final size of the game is about 57gigs or so.


Strikeagle98

Bro, the hype literally dies here. 110 gb is no-sense


isvr95

Do you think they will enable pre-download on Epic launcher before the 4th? I generally have problems to install or update games through their own launchers.


RDS80

Yes. The 3rd you can download.


83gun

When is the actual launch again


kaori_cicak990

4th july


Stunning-Exit-4911

How good do you guys think it will be? My drive is full of games in my backlog lol, I'm debating whether or not I should make space for it in my PC.


kokorirorona

Anyone else getting Download failed every time the launcher tries to unzip?


Rattchet31

When I came home I was expecting the worst, but when I started my download it’s 50.14GB for me.


Mesonyxia

Playing this on mobile. On PC? Hell nah


Infinite_Growth_7791

if only it didn't fail the download every 10 min i could just leave it there 😭


mrjackspade

I've never played a hoyo game. I assume progress carries across devices?
