: Why is 4K footage of a game bigger than the game itself?

1.17K views

For example, The Last Of Us Part II is near 100 GB, but if I record the whole game (20 hours or so) in 4K, that video will be like 200-250 GB.

Can anyone explain why?

The data that is the game gives your system the information to build the world. As you play this world and everything in it is created. This creates a ton of media. Especially at high resolution. The longer you play the more media is produced even though it only took the amount of data in the game files to create it. Hope that helps.
