rn downloading and its 33.3GB + 1.7GB shader cache

Bought include both storage for downloaded compressed archives and then to unpack before deleting them?

I've run into this when updating games where I have the game installed and enough space for the update but not enough for that middle ground when it's getting unpacked

That's much more reasonable, I don't even have 85GB available. Why would they recommend that much storage?

Maybe a dev just right click propertied their folder and typed that in haha. I think it's probably downloaded and cached community content. Unless it's a hint at new danger zone stuff

My guess is that the shown number is the storage requirements when they add the war games maps and Danger Zone maps

My guess is future proofing.

AKA Subtly forcing users to buy more storage real state 💾💵
