Chris Bishop, Senior Product Marketing Manager at Turn 10 Studios, said a lot of thought was put into content delivery of the upcoming Forza Motorsport 7.
You know, honestly its something that we thought about this year, was like do we want to go multi-disc or single? Its something that I think we are always exploring and talking about whats best for the customer and whats the right delivery system, Bishop said. We want to provide options, and thats why we do discs and digital and then code-to-content is another thing: where people want to buy at retail, but maybe they want the benefits of digital. But they have GameStop or EB Games membership.
We even thought about USB drives and stuff like that. So, who knows what the future is? Cause these files get bigger and bigger and data caps become a reality. Digital has so many benefits and most people would say thats the future, but at the same time, especially as a Marketing Manager, Im always out there being like, All right, whats best for the customer? What are the options out there? Pros and cons?
Its definitely not a one-size-fits-all solution, or one answer.
Because Forza 7 comes out more than a month before the Xbox One X is available to players, its 4K assets will not be bundled on the games single Blu-ray disc.
Its one disc that works for Xbox One S, or Xbox One X, or the original Xbox One, Bishop confirmed. Its about 50GB. Thats about the most you can put on a Blu-ray these days, as far as Im aware, and that has as much of the game content as we can stuff on the 50GB.
The game itself will end up probably right around 60GB, Bishop also confirmed. So itll have day one update, patches, updates and some more content. But thats all 1080p files that is what people will play on October 3, or September 29 if you get the Ultimate Edition with early access.
Then, if you put that disc in on Xbox One X on November 7, itll install those [on-disc] bits. Itll install that 10GB of update [of day one patches, etc], and then itll download another 30GB or so of 4K files.
