Need for Speed Payback Install Size for Xbox One Drops
It seems like every racing game released nowadays is a massive hard drive suck. For instance, the recently-released Gran Turismo Sport clocked in at over 50 GB, and Forza Motorsport 7 eats nearly 100 GB. Naturally, you would think the upcoming racer Need for Speed Payback is going to hog some hard drive space, right? Well not quite, the new Need for Speed game doesn’t take up too much room at all. This perhaps suggests there isn’t much meat on that bone…
According to its Microsoft Store listing, the Xbox One version of Need for Speed Payback has a small install size of 17.8 GB. Given Payback is an HD open-world racer with a full story mode featuring voice-acted cutscenes, that is very low.
We should learn more about the game soon as we move closer to the November 10 release. Further, we don’t know how much space Payback will consume on PC or PS4 yet, but we anticipate it will likely be similar. The game’s PC specs indicated 30 GB of free disk space was required, but that was probably a placeholder.
