Did a quick search and nothing came up.

Regardless of platform, Batman: Arkham Knight will require you to have a whopping 45 GB of free space on your hard drive.

Make space for me if AP.

How much of it is useless prerendered cutscenes? I'm gonna guess half.

SillyEskimo · Jun 4, 2015

Not including the inevitable Day 1 patch, of course.

ZeroX03 · Jun 4, 2015

Not surprising. As long as there's preload...

LegalEagleMike · Jun 4, 2015

Time to say goodbye Destiny. Lets not pretend we have not been going down this path for a while now.

GavinUK86 · Jun 4, 2015

Have to uninstall some other games then!

Velcro Fly · Jun 4, 2015

Apparently the cutscenes are all "live"

Killing_Joke · Jun 4, 2015

Open world, tons of video, and pretty good graphics. Sounds about right.

derExperte · Jun 4, 2015

That's why god invented 1TB SSDs.

ThoseDeafMutes · Jun 4, 2015

It will take up 45GB on my SSD, thank you very much.

SymbiantXenos · Jun 4, 2015

Have 2 3gb external HDDs in the back of the XB1 so I'll pick it up on that.

DOWN · Jun 4, 2015

I welcome games over 50GB so at least this one is pushing it

Buy a 2TB and put it in yourself.

All cutscenes are rendered in real time.

This.

I don't care that it's taking up space, as long as it's properly compressed and there's just a lot of it. Hell, I'd be thrilled that there's such a massive amount of content (or at least unique assets).

But more often or not it's 35gb of uncompressed video or audio and <10gb of game.

rrs · Jun 4, 2015

don't tell me it's all uncompressed wavs, it's not the 90's anymore

shacklesmcgee · Jun 4, 2015

oh me oh my, 45gb of delicious goodness in every bite!

Syntsui · Jun 4, 2015

Which won't be enough if this trend continues. We should consider the inevitable patches and DLC. 10 games later... You are out of space.

SodiumBenzoate · Jun 4, 2015

I'm fixing to cancel my PS4 CE pre-order and getting this on PC...

LiK · Jun 4, 2015

seems to be on par with other recent releases

jon bones · Jun 4, 2015

can't wait for those sweet, sweet bytes of data

Salsa · Jun 4, 2015

should be done with Witcher 3

move from SSD to HDD

install batman on SSD

all is good

Delusibeta · Jun 4, 2015

It's getting to the stage where AAA games being >40Gb is less news and more of a fact of life. Looking forward to the reactions when someone (predicting either Square Enix or Rockstar) breaks the 100Gb barrier for a console version of one of their games.

Skyzard · Jun 4, 2015

Starting to want a really fast optical drive just a little bit.

Until loading it up to go play gwent takes forever.

SunBroDave · Jun 4, 2015

Am I gonna be able to play all of that, or do I need to pre-order it from like 6 different retailers to unlock the full 45 gigs?

Don't worry, that's all included in the game probably.

Delta Assault · Jun 4, 2015

And finally my son, I ask that you get a really big hard drive.

K.Sabot · Jun 4, 2015

Become less and less of a digital user lately, internet infrastructure and service provider policies haven't kept up with the file sizes.

NotLiquid · Jun 4, 2015

Need a new HDD

Steam recommends 55GB.

Well according to the Xbox One preload, the Harley Quinn DLC is a little over a 1 GB in size, so maybe not?

h#shdem0n · Jun 4, 2015

This game is going eat up 20% of my SSD.

Skyzard · Jun 4, 2015

SalsaShark said:

You're missing out. First card game I played in over a decade, it's great fun.

Lakerchick4life · Jun 4, 2015

Guess I am going to wait before buying to find out which version is better to go for but damn 45 gig of data install is insane, seriously when is Sony going to release external drive support for games like the X1 does

Hoho for breakfast · Jun 4, 2015

I don't understand using an SSD in a PS4 and then complaining about space when there are 2TB drives available. Take the SSD out and use it in something that will actually put it to good use, like a computer. Then buy a much cheaper 2TB drive for your PS4.

Genio88 · Jun 4, 2015

Where is the surprise? After GtaV, Witcher 3 etc you should know that latest AAA games, especially if freeroaming, will always be around 35/50GB, not a real problem for me cause i've SSD an a storage Hard Disk on my PC and i dont mind deleting older installed games which i know i won't play again

I first read this as "preordered cutscenes", and actually thought that was another preorder bonus for Batman, haha.

malfcn · Jun 4, 2015

That 2tb external was a much needed addition.

NullPointer · Jun 4, 2015

family_guy said:

This. It helps and its crazy easy and cheaper than buying a new PS4 with more space.

I'm an idiot when it comes to hardware and swapping out the PS4 HDD was a breeze.

Rhaknar · Jun 4, 2015

Not to be a dick but isn't that pretty much standard now for this gen? Do we need to act shocked everytime a new game is 50gigs?

Spring-Loaded · Jun 4, 2015

Yes.

nkarafo · Jun 4, 2015

Still not as bad as the 60GB GTAV PC...

How much was the PS4 version again?
