Forza 7 needs 100GB of free space at launch

4.7

At launch, Forza 7 will be one of the largest games ever.

Turn 10 revealed the Forza 7 minimum and recommended specs earlier this week, which was quite a surprise given that we’re a few months away from release.

But one thing the specs didn’t mention is that you’re going to need a lot of free space on your HDD, which also applies to Xbox One owners.

According to the game’s store page (via MS Power User), you’ll need 100GB of free space at launch.

This makes it the largest Forza title ever at launch, and certainly among the biggest on Xbox One. Today, Gears of War 4 with all the updates is already close to 120GB, and Halo 5 is around 100GB, but again, that’s after months of patches.

This usually indicates either very high quality assets, or plenty of video files. Could be both, though Forza is not known for its pre-rendered cut-scenes. Now that it’s running at native 4K, all assets have to look the part.

Forza 7 is out October 3 on PC, and Xbox One.

Are you kidding me LMAO, but i suppose all the games are now going to be this big because of the games now being in 4K, Does anybody know if there will be an upgrade for the Xbox One X hard drive?

A lot of space needed, wasn't expecting 100gb, I have an External HD but still wow, can only imagine other games

Guessing its time to invest in a external hard drive for my xbox games

Even with a 1TB Xbox One S. This is still going to take up a lot of space. My guess is so that Forza 7 will be 4K ready for the X1X, that's the only thing that I can think of that would cause the drastic increase in the size of the game. Forza Horizon 3 looks great, and it's only 18GB with all the current expansions and updates.
