Star Citizen Game Client Will Weigh 100 Gigabytes

Star Citizen – the project is truly giant scale. Angar module, Arena Commander mode, a full-fledged FPS module and a constantly developing MMO-world – what a cosmic simulator can boast such an abundance of a variety of content? But here there is also the reverse side of the medal – get ready for the fact that the game will require an indecent much space on your hard drive.

At first, one of the users of the official forum suggested, they say, to the release of developers will hold a number of optimizations, as a result of which the size of the client of the game urges somewhere up to 30-40 GB, and subsequent updates will weigh several hundred megabytes. But, according to the representative Cloud Imperium Games Jeremy Maskera (Jeremy Masker), it’s not quite so.

He explained that even the compression of data and the removal of some materials will not significantly reduce the size of the client. That is, the most hypothetical 30-40 GB of speeches does not even go – you should navigate … per 100 GB. The “light” patches hope not to hope: every update carries hundreds of assets – 200 MB each. Thus, it is not difficult to calculate that the average size of future updates will vary in the range from 2 to 6 GB, while the largest major will be able to reach 20 “Gigs”.

Meanwhile, while we wrote this note, the budget Star Citizen Already close to 75 million dollars. Our congratulations team that confidently continues to beat their own records.
