why are pc games so large but their mobile equivalents are much less in GBs

266 views

really large games that are upwards of 70GB (for example genshin impact) run on mobile for only a fraction of that. how is that possible? i know that they’re different systems but I don’t know enough about storage and logistics of computers to fully understand this. (i guess this could segway into an entirely separate question of how co-op works…)

The main thing that increases storage size is the 3d models and textures, which is why some games offer 4k textures as a separate download. Mobile games have lower poly models and textures, and sometimes sounds so the file size is lower.
