40+ gb patch for a new map? Isn't that a bit too much? lol

@hayhor I don't honestly know. 

@hayhorWe don’t. We download more than PS ppl tho. Apex itself is 70gb for a while and last time it was roughly 60gb for new update (map update + character).

So bad luck @OldTreeCreeper, it’s gonna cost you at least a day and a half. Whatever size ps gets, put at least 33% more for xbox, whatever the game, but usually around 50% tho 😈

@Cro_Pittt I don’t find 40 big actually. Not because I download that size in mere minutes 😈 (flexing if you’ve ever seen it) but because files are getting bigger and throughout the gaming industry it’s nowadays a fact that compression techniques are not as applied as they were in the hayday.

Indie devs use compression heavily cause they want their files to be as small as possible cause they know players like that whereas bigger devs just leave lots of files ‘open’ and even don’t remove unused files. 

Read an article about it some years ago right before Gears 5 dropped and they spoke with some industry insiders on the problem and how games were already surpassing 100gb even tho they needn’t be

@hayhor I'm downloading on my PS4 right now.
