Starfield Download Available Now for Xbox Users
Bethesda’s upcoming sci-fi RPG, Starfield, is one of the most anticipated games of the year. And now, we finally know how big the game will be. It will be nothing like the sizes you see for Xbox One games or even many next-gen ones.
According to the Microsoft Store page, Starfield will require at least 125GB of storage space. That’s a hefty file size, but it’s not surprising considering the scope of the game. Starfield is a massive open-world RPG with over 1,000 planets to explore.
If you’re planning on playing Starfield on Xbox Series X|S, you’ll need to make sure you have enough storage space available. You can also pre-load the game now so that you’re ready to jump in as soon as it launches on November 11.
Xbox One Games – Huge File Sizes are Nothing New
Of course, Starfield isn’t the only big game coming out this year. Other upcoming titles with massive file sizes include Call of Duty: Vanguard (133GB), Battlefield 2042 (120GB), and Halo Infinite (100GB).
So, if you’re planning on playing any of these games, you’ll need to make sure you have enough storage space on your console or PC.
Starfield Petition to Bring the Game to PlayStation 5 Gains Steam
As previously mentioned, Starfield is an Xbox console exclusive. This means that it will only be available on Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Naturally, this has upset some PlayStation fans who were hoping to play the game on their console. As a result, a petition to bring Starfield to PlayStation 5 has been gaining steam online.
The petition, which is from the user “LonelyWanderer91,” currently has over 3,000 signatures. The goal of the petition is to get Bethesda to reconsider its decision to make Starfield an Xbox exclusive.
It’s unclear whether the petition will make a difference. However, it’s clear that there is a demand for Starfield on PlayStation 5.
Bonus: Here are some tips for managing your storage space on your Xbox Series X|S:
- Delete games that you don’t play anymore.
- Use the “Manage Game” option to uninstall unused game add-ons.
- Use the “Quick Resume” feature to keep your games suspended in memory so that you don’t have to reinstall them every time you want to play them.
- If you’re desperate, you can always delete your system cache. But keep in mind, this will delete all your game saves and settings.
Xbox One Games – Summing Up
Starfield is one of the most anticipated games of the year, and it’s sure to be a massive hit. However, its massive file size may be a turn-off for some players. Additionally, the fact that it’s an Xbox console exclusive is sure to disappoint some PlayStation fans. Only time will tell whether Starfield will live up to the hype. But one thing is for sure: it’s going to be a big game. As for people looking for Xbox One games, they can play Elden Ring instead.
