Xbox One games install sizes

Install sizes for Xbox One launch titles have been revealed after a consumer managed to get hold of a console early thanks to a shipping error by Target.

According to Moonlightswami (via NeoGAF), all games will require between 246 MB and 43 GB of storage space to install. This isn't in reference to digital downloads either - all Xbox One titles will require an install.

Seeing as the Xbox One comes with an internal hard drive size of 500 GB, it looks like you'll need to get into the habit of deleting old games once you're done with them, at least until the promised external hard drive support is added.

The install sizes he's reporting are as follows:

Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag – 20GB
Battlefield 4 – 33GB
Call of Duty: Ghosts – 39GB
Dead Rising 3 – 19GB
FIFA 14 – 8GB
Fighter Within – 9.2GB
Forza Motorsport 5 – 31GB
Just Dance 2014 – 22GB
Killer Instinct – 3.4GB
Lococyle – 13GB
Madden NFL 25 – 12GB
NBA 2K14 – 43GB
NBA Live 14 – 9GB
Powerstar Golf – 3.9GB
Ryse: Son of Rome – 34GB
Skylanders: Swap Force – 15GB
Xbox Fitness – 246MB
Zoo Tycoon – 2.6GB
Zumba World Party – 24GB

Some games can apparently be played midway through the install process and, as you'd expect, installation is fairly speedy.

Prepare to buy plenty of storage expansion drives for your Xbox One.

This is not the worst news ever. The PS4 has the same issues, but it's easier to add a bigger HDD to the PS4. What I am hoping for then is that the Xbox supports external HDD's bigger than 32Gb as it currently does. I would hope for at least supporting 3Tb drives. If not, then there will be a major problem

Honestly not an issue.

You do what PC gamers have been doing for years: delete the games you are done with.

Valid point, but not all PC gamers do that. I have a 2TB and a 1TB drive in my PC both with only installed games on. I almost never delete/uninstall any game from my PC and I hate doing it on PS3 as well. If I'm in the mood to suddenly play a game I haven't played it in ages I don't eant to wait for it to install first.

I am not going to waste local storage if it is all ready stored in the 'cloud' :P
