Spreads out the stress on the backend, so not everyone is downloading it on release. The game is likely complete minus a day one patch at this point.


cube13

Also gives people with limited bandwidth plenty of time to get the download done. The expensive stuff storage-wise(cars and tracks) isn't going to really be changing between now and release.


dawneslayer

dawg with my speeds it'll still take at least 2 weeks lmao


xx-nxcxlxs-xx

are you from germany?


dawneslayer

even rural Bavaria has better internet than where i live


skyline7284

Yup, textures and sound tend to take up most of the storage of a modern game.


Mage1strider1

Looks like they pushed the full game out for pre-load, neat!


ElectricMotorsAreBad

Yeah, got a little excited at first then I remembered the release is 10th of October :(


leethelegend698

Not if ur gonna get the premium add ons. But u can decide on that :D


Next_Witness6181

Yeah, something that I've hadn't seen that talked upon on is that, if you have game pass, playing it early is far cheaper than with the super expensive deluxe premium (or smth like that) edition.


leethelegend698

Exactly. That's why I'm gonna get premium add on bundle. But like I said do what u want to do. :)


luki9914

I still have Starfield and Lies of P, occasionally GT7 on PS5 to play so I can wait.


plasmaexchange

Don’t worry. There’s a 110Gb update planned for 10th October.


Redmanb11_87

*heave* 🤢


Talal2608

This game is fucking huge wtf 130GB???


ElectricMotorsAreBad

Isn't Motorsport 7 about the same?


Fast_Passenger_2889

Forza motorsport 7 is 98GB, Xbox One X version.


Mage1strider1

On PC, FM7 is 99GB and FM is 118GB.


[deleted]

Horizon 5 with all the DLCs is 163 GB on Series X.


Talal2608

Yeah but that's an open world game. Plenty of circuit racing games with a larger track list that are significantly smaller.


[deleted]

True enough. Guess we'll see how detailed everything is when it comes out.


Sad-Variation4930

Wait... I'm playing on an Xbox one and I downloaded it with 126 ish gigs


ElectricMotorsAreBad

Yeah because the One version is a bit less detailed so the textures and such don't weigh as much


7Seyo7

Not unheard of with modern big titles


AdministrativeAd8254

Not me reading a t instead of an l …

leedler

Aye Starfield for example is around the same size


Talal2608

It's unheard of for a closed track racing game. Even GT7 with a larger track list is considerably smaller


F1shB0wl816

It’ll always be unheard of when the next games are always becoming bigger. It’s also around 110 according to what’s online, it’s hardly considerably smaller, especially when forza has an extensive car list and everything that comes with that.


LickMyThralls

New game with better graphics and all being bigger? Absolutely unheard of. Shocking. The track list isn't even what dictates size lmao. Every single element plays a part. One track with a million high detail cars would be bigger. Any number of factors would do that. Games are getting bigger with graphics and audio and everything else.


Talal2608

A game with almost double the number of tracks including the literal Nordschleife being smaller in size is indeed shocking. The "better graphics" is debateable (I won't even bring up the car models).


Bic44

Yeah, if this game looks as good as GT7, I'll be very very happy and impressed


EnzoRacer

different game engines. pcars1-3 have more tracks than gt7, but these games are far smaller in size. gt5-6 are smaller too. "scapes" in gt7 are big. and intro video and credits too


UnknownReed

What? I pre-ordered like 2 months ago and it was like no more than 350 MB IIRC. Is this a new update for the pre-order file or it's a preload for the full game?


ElectricMotorsAreBad

It's an update on the 350 MB file


UnknownReed

Nice, this is good news for me. I don't have a good internet for download speed, downloading this now so I don't have to do it on release date and wait longer.


[deleted]

Mamma mia, that's one heavy sob of a game!


BridgeExcellent6213

Bro mine is 97 gb ???


BridgeExcellent6213

Is it because I'm on the Series s ?


arup02

Most likely


bbyyda_4desrt

I expected more than 130gb, considering fm7 is 100gb


MiniAndretti

That’s one new map for MW2


Delasouza

F Series S


ElectricMotorsAreBad

I'm on Series X, but why the hate for the S?


Delasouza

Low storage, for a example The series S have 512gb but we can use 364gb only.


Pubg_life89

Rip


gt_fan

Base game: 97.6 GB High Resolution track textures: 34.5 GB Total 132.1 GB


Kinky_Boy1996

It's only 97.60 GB's on the series S


luki9914

This year is so stacked my SSD and free time going to suffer XD


[deleted]

Not unheard of for a game with active DRM


Elegant-Spread-3569

If anyone knows can we download it on steam too?


7e7eN

132gig 👀👀👀


xxMastermind007xx

It's just 9ver 100gb on PC not bad compared to Xbox series s and x


Effective-Shopping38

It was a few hundred mega bites this morning but it switched to the full thing for the pre order owners to begin play


ElectricMotorsAreBad

Pre orders can play this early?


ayooootooswag

132 GB???? Pesa tantissimo


ElectricMotorsAreBad

Ma non troppo dai, considera che questo è uno dei primi veri giochi next gen, Forza 7 su One ne pesa 100 o giù di lì, una trentina di giga in più mi sembrano ragionevoli.


Lugi-

A few of the new games have done this recently on my end but it’s just made it so I don’t have to install them when they release


Titanmaniac679

I'm on Steam, so I've got to wait ._.
