This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

"The biggest game of 2026"
Is it a terabyte or something?
300GB apparently. So not far off. Especially with SSD prices these days.
WTF...so much for optimization.
Blame the people wanting to be able to see every flies asshole. Textures get huge fast.
Not surprised they're large, mostly because the asset sizes are dictated by what screen resolution people play (yeah, 1440p fomo) and how big their monitors are (27" or bust), and how often they stream or make screenshots.
Man, they should offer disc anyway so gen-z can experience the "please insert disc 2 and press continue" while installing.
It'll be the Windows 95 14-disk floppy set all over again, but this time with 18 DVDs
I see you were also traumatized by the floppy release. Lol
I had pre-ordered the CD release from Babbage's, and went to pick that up. Being that I was only 15, I had to get a ride, and it was also 45 min each way, so this wasn't exactly easy for me.
When I got home, I still hadn't realized they gave me the wrong one and cracked it open to see the horror. Said screw it, I wasn't going to be able to go back anytime soon and installed it for the next hour or more.
Luckily, because this was pre-activation key (we remember those days, right? ... right??), when I took it back, they apologized and gave me the right one without much problem.
Only installed once from 14 floppies, but it still was terrible.
There are already games with dedicated install discs like that.
Fifteen times the size of the smallest PS3.
Isn’t a series S as low as 256gb?
That tells me the game needs to be under that
I have a Series S and the usable storage is around the 360GB mark.
I'm not going to buy GTA6 but imagine having to dedicate your whole console to 1 game :(
Lol, soon we will be buying games on game consoles instead of disks.
We'll be back to physical memory cards.
Fuck... I'd have to delete at least 5 other games to make room...
5? In a closet behind me I have a physical disk containing 4 full games, including their scanned manuals, on one CD. That’s right, a CD, not a DVD.
No, but the packaging is a refrigerator box.
the keycode is laser-etched onto one of the nails holding it together.
Fragile..it's italian!
It is a reflection though. A box with a piece of paper in it is a direct reflection of fucking idiocy.
