Xbox One X Can Barely Handle 10 Games; Sizes Revealed
Earlier today, the install size for Quantum Break was revealed. With the addition of 4K resolution, the game reaches a whopping 102.5 GB file size. But if you add the tv pack (75 additional gigabytes), that number floats to 178 GB of hard drive space. However, the tv pack is entirely optional. The same can be said of the high-rez assets, but if you’re spending money on the Xbox One X, chances are you want everything in 4K.
In related news, the file size for Halo 5: Guardians has been revealed. Available in the Xbox Marketplace, the file takes up 107 GB of space. Again, anyone can go to settings and turn off 4K assets, making them entirely optional. The trend with 4K assets is their pushing every game beyond the 100GB threshold. Not a bad tradeoff, when we consider games like Halo 5 are playable at 3840×2160 with 60 fps. All it lacks is HDR, currently unavailable due to technical difficulties in implementation. The same is true of Forza Motorsport 7, which also takes up 100 GB of space. Since the Xbox One X ships with 1TB of hard drive space, the prolific gamer may definitely want to shop external hard drives for the system.
With all these huge patches, we’re going need Microsoft’s “intelligent delivery” system pretty soon. Xbox One X hits retail on November 7th. File sizes are huge but you can get a headstart if you own an external hard drive. Simply download the 4K patches available now for Xbox One and transfer them to the console when it arrives.

The original Xbox One only shipped with 500GB, it's just a con to get everyone buying external HDD.

Nodus They really should've shipped it with 2TB or more like the Xbox One S. People are essentially forced to buy external now if they want to play more than 10 games.
It's just an excuse for them to make a different version of the console with a 2TB hard drive at a later date

Figured every game would require a shit ton of space. It's not like I play more than 10 if that many at once anyways. But still the external hard drive will help out.

I mean not that big of a deal why would you need tons of 100gb games installed? On Steam I ave at most 4-6 games installed and my PC only has a 1TB drive. No point in using up space for a game you're not playing.

It would be nice if it was larger. I already have to delete games all the time, evertime a new event is released for a game. Was trying to wait as long as possible to buy an external, Look's like it doesnt really matter at this point.

Can we turn off 4K assets by each game or is it all together? Like R6 siege for example (if it has assets), I don't play a lot at all but keep it downloaded for 2-3 friends that play every now and then, but it's not worth the extra space to me.
