The answer is simple, the cloud.

MS is using the cloud to produce those clouds but it isn't in the cloud.

No it is streamed from the cloud to the xbox to give you cloudy clouds in game.

I have never been more damp.

Could be 150GB with the Series X upgrade

Pretty crazy looking at some of those early incarnations that are nothing more than basic shapes. Then you see what it is now. Basic shapes to a near perfect 1:1 replication of the planet in just 40 years. Pretty remarkable.

I’d love to see a Pilot Wings game with these visuals.

Gee whiz, and I'm guessing it needs to be on the internal drive?

It is hard to tell how big it will be. On pC it started out around 150GB but they did update it and shrank that size to roughly half. There is also a pic showing the size on Xbox being 92GB. I

I think it will come in under 100GB on XSX.

I wonder if that really matters, I have fh4 running off the external whilst it’s dlc is on the internal. Got many games running like that or vice versa, had no issues or hiccups.

 

[The Wolf King]

It's 147GB for the premium deluxe edition

I think it will have to be internal. Going to need that SSD speed.

Yea that's true, I've had a few optimized for SeriesX games on the external and they've run fine, I guess maybe they have to be a true next gen game to run on the internal only.

 

[The Wolf King]

Think any XS game needs to be on the internal or the official storage card to have the true next gen upgrades? If you are running it off another external HD you are just getting slight improvementsl

Isn’t the external just a proprietary nvme ssd?

You mean the official xbox 1 TB. Storage expansion. That isn't an external drive, it is internal. An external drive would be one plugged in via USB, this is what I thought you were talking about.

 

[Plainview]

Debating getting the expansion card just for this.

 

[Kvally]

How is the pre-load not live for this with only a week to go until launch?

 

[karmakid]

Preload is up!

English mother f***er.

Downloading. 97GB.

Is it bigger on the XSX?

 

[Kvally]

Heads up the MS Flight Sim preload is up at 97GB however I noticed if you manage the game it looks like you can take 55GB off the download by removing the “World - offline mode” add on thing. I think if you do that it’ll just stream the data.

[Plainview]

Dont see it in app.

 

[menace-uk-]

I'll leave it for now, but nice to know there is an easy way to free up 56GB .

I will leave it for now as well. I only have 37% used of my 2 internal drives.
