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

268 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…)

On a computer: I want it to look pretty and have stunning effects.

On mobile: It works, yes!

When playing on the different platforms, we expect certain levels of refinement. On PC, those stunning textures and VFX take up a lot of memory. We don’t expect any of that on mobile.
