Medal of Honor: In a higher place and Across Install Needs Over 300 GB of Space

Medal of Award: In a higher place & Beyond has a good run a risk to earn the title of the biggest game of the year. Quite literally, because to install Respawn Entertainment's new piece of work nosotros volition demand over 300 GB of disk space.

The upcoming Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond can easily be considered a spi-off to this renowned cycle. After all, we're talking well-nigh a game using virtual reality engineering, and such games are usually associated with various few-hour (or less) titles or "VR experiences", not - every bit in this case - a total-fledged FPS with a story campaign and online style. And certainly non with one that would have up 170 GB of disk space and need double the amount for installation, thus being one of the largest video games of 2020.

Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond recommended organization requirements:

CPU: Intel i7 9700K or amend
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 2080 or better
RAM: xvi GB (DDR4)
Storage: 170 GB of free space (340 GB to unpack files, SSD recommended)
Other: virtual reality ready (Oculus Rift, Steam VR)

The to a higher place data was provided, amongst others, by Polygon, and it comes from a guide for reviewers received past the American website's editorial staff. Information technology was also confirmed by Mike Doran from Oculus Studios on Reddit. For comparison: Half-Life: Alyx needed only 68 GB of deejay infinite, the PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2, 150 GB, and the latest Call of Duty requires 175 GB of costless space (without Ultra RTX textures). In the case of the latter, its size angry widespread displeasure and things will probably be no different for the new Medal of Accolade. Especially since the space required for installation outbids the requirements of the Cold War CoD, even with boosted files for Ultra RTX settings. As a consolation, the game updates will not need that much free space (via Polygon).

It's not clear why Medal of Honor: To a higher place and Across needs so much disk infinite, specially during installation. One indication may exist the situation with the first Titanfall. The game took up 21 GB of free disk space on PC, but during the installation, more twice as much infinite was needed. The reason for this were uncompressed audio files, which weigh as much equally 35 GB. It was a deliberate movement by Respawn Entertainment, which - every bit Eurogamer informed - was to relieve organization resources. The idea was that the processor would not accept to be responsible for unpacking the archived audio data, which would burden weaker computers with dual-core CPUs.

Is at that place a similar philosophy backside this instance, after more than than six years and the debut of next-gen CPUs? The answer tin be found subsequently the release and access to game files. Medal of Honor: Higher up and Beyond will debut on PC on the night of December eleven. If you want to see what the production looks like in advance, Mike Doran has shared new gameplay footage on Reddit.
