    Hi guys,
    Why are these downloads so big

    PlayStation users https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/early-access-changelog.57962/
    another 14.4 gb …
    Ain’t doing it

    I wouldn’t mind but it’s shows on my ps4 in data size done so far 41.99gb and wanting another 14.4gb ..don’t think so this is crazy ..I know it’s new but surly could be small
    Also wouldn’t mind but we still not got tsw2 maps …data sizes are massive

    If it's an update, wouldn't that 14 replace some of the 42, rather than just adding to it?

    Yes this is usually how it works. Of course it depends on the update and what's being addressed or added.

    Generally if it's an update that doesn't add new content such as fixes the system will download the entirety of the 14gb update to the console and then install itself ontop of the application without adding on to the size.

    OP frequent updates like these are exceedingly normal these days for most major titles especially in an early access period. If you're concerned about excessive updates your best bet is to wait until the game is fully released and a few patches have been released. That way, you'll install the game, update once and be done.

    Again, there's nothing out of the ordinary going on here, fixes being pushed during an early access period before a launch is common and expected, the goal is to address and fix the largest issues found via feedback during this 4 day period in preparation for the full release date.

    Hope this helps.
