You can grab right now ahead of release.
You might consider the biggest Xbox releases this week to be Stalker 2 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, but don’t forget the other massive one - free-to-play sensation Genshin Impact arrives on Wednesday, November 20th.
If you want to be ready to go on Wednesday, you can actually preload Genshin Impact on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S right now, and you might be surprised to learn that it’s over 100GB! Here’s what some Xbox fans have been saying…
This isn’t surprising though. As an Xbox player, I would fully expect a game that has been out for years and received many major updates in its lifetime to be a gargantuan download size by now.
EDIT: LOL, making an article out of literally nothing. Their quoted comments are like, 2 upvotes here, 6 upvotes there, and one with a MASSIVE 100 upvotes, whoopee!
Not that shocking? It’s pushing 45gb or so on mobile, and my PC install is like 85gb.
I can see how you might end up slightly bigger on a version that might have more than a single version of each resource for the good console and the potato one, since I’m assuming that they’re doing universal downloads and not packaging two versions?
45gb on mobile?!! I don’t think I’ve ever seen something so large on mobile before.
Have you played Genshin tho? Hella content.
ARK: Survival Ascended players: “First time?”
Hell, I just started with their dev kit, and it’s 760gb – I had to dedicate an entire NVME drive to it.
115 on PS5 and “85 to 115” on PC.
Why would anyone be surprised that the Xbox version is the same?
Because if they weren’t “surprised” there would be no story here
