How can a video game like Tears of the Kingdom take only 18 GB’s of space?

Question

I understand that the game is on par with Gen 7 hardware but even some of those games like GTA 5 sported 60+ files sizes. Not to mention current games with 150+ sizes.

In: 270

Answer 1

I think a lot of game devs don’t take game size in to consideration. Many games like call of duty could likely take up much less space if they were interested in making that a priority.
