Talking Point: Do You Actively Avoid Xbox Games With Massive Download Sizes?

Since the arrival of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S in late 2020, it feels like we've been talking about download sizes a lot more than we used to. A few years ago, it came as a huge surprise if a game surpassed the 100GB mark in terms of its file size, and now it's becoming pretty commonplace for a lot of AAA titles on the market.

And, we'll be honest, we sometimes avoid them simply because of their ridiculous sizes. Xbox Series S owners have to be particularly careful with this, as if they haven't invested in an Expansion Card and they're not lucky enough to have a 1TB version of the console, there's only around 400GB of storage to actually play with.

We talked about this a few weeks ago in a feature about Xbox Series X|S storage limits in 2024, where nearly half of all PX voters told us that their Series X internal storage was full, and 58% said the same for the Series S.
