Battlefield 4 devs 'highly recommend' 14GB install on Xbox 360

4.6
Battlefield 4 players on Xbox 360 will be required to install 14 gigabytes of data to "have the best experience possible".

A post on an an FAQ page has broken down the various installation packages that will be required to run DICE's shooter on Xbox 360 in optimal conditions.

"Battlefield 4 on the Xbox 360 will come with two discs: one for multiplayer, the other for single player," it states.

"The first time you start your game, regardless of which disc you use, you will be asked to perform a required installation of 2GB worth of game content to your hard drive. In addition to the required installation, each disc has additional content you can install to your hard drive for better performance."

EA "highly recommends" that players perform these additional installations to "make sure you have the best experience possible in Battlefield 4."

According to the FAQ, the multiplayer disc has "an additional 6.6 GB of content" while the single-player disc has "5.8 GB of installation content".

EA has confirmed a Battlefield 4 release date of October 29 in the US and November 1 in the UK on current gen consoles and PC. Xbox One and PS4 versions will be console launch titles later in November.

The final game will ship with seven multiplayer modes playable on ten maps. You can check out a recent Battlefield 4 multiplayer trailer.

Lavish It seems like these recent games take up huge portions on harddrives. I wonder if bigger HDD's will become available as these downloads start to get bigger and bigger.


That's why the next gens start at 500GB.


That's a good thing that they're doing, it would be nicer if it was a bit larger like 750 GB, but 500 GB should be good enough.

newtonballs26 WTF how is it highly recommended yet you're required to do it make up your **** mind.


I think it might have just been a typo.
Something like this will probably be required and not just recommended.
