People seem divided on the new Wolfenstein game. Some fans are looking forward to the return to the return to the roots of the franchise in a story-driven game, while others are left unimpressed by the way the game looks and has played in demos so far. One thing about the game that is sure to not divide opinion though is the amount of memory needed to install the game on a computer though: 50GB.

The specs that Wolfenstein: The New Order will need from each platform it’s being released for have been made public but while most of the specs seem pretty normal for such a game the huge amount of memory has caught the most attention for good reason. Large installs are becoming more common, with games like Titanfall also taking up many gigs simply through having uncompressed audio files. 50GB does seem like an awful lot though, which leads you to wonder what it could possibly need all that space for…
