The file size for the remake of Supermassive Games' interactive horror drama Until Dawn has been revealed, coming in at 56.676 GB on PlayStation 5. That file size is nearly 10 GB larger than the original 2015 version of Until Dawn on PlayStation 4, showing just how much larger the game has grown in one console generation.

While rumors had persisted in the months prior to its reveal, developer Ballistic Moon confirmed the Until Dawn remake in May, announcing it for PlayStation 5 and PC. Planned for release on October 4, the survival horror game is set to feature big upgrades to lighting, models, and textures thanks to its development in Unreal Engine 5.

A new report from PlayStation Game Size announced the bulkier file size on September 27, as well as making a point of how much larger it is than the original PlayStation 4 iteration. The game's Steam page lists 70 GB of free space on an SSD under both its recommended and minimum requirement sections for the Until Dawn remake on PC, so players may need to clear a little extra room for it.

In addition to the upgraded visual effects, there will be plenty more to set Ballistic Moon's version of the game apart from Supermassive's. The remake promises more Until Dawn content on the way, featuring an expanded story, a larger world with more locations to explore, and additional collectibles to find, which probably makes up part of that extra 10 GB of data. Additionally, the game will have an entirely new musical score by Mark Corven, who has also composed the scores for horror films such as 2024's The First Omen and 2019's The Lighthouse.

While it's not involved in the development of the remake, Supermassive has taken a lot of steps to perfect its narrative-focused, investigation-style horror gameplay since Until Dawn's original launch. The Dark Pictures Anthology Season One consisted of four games that ran from 2019 to 2022, all using the same gameplay style as Until Dawn but with varying types of stories, from a house fire survivor's struggle with delusions over his dead family members to a film crew being trapped in a murder hotel with a serial killer. The second season is set to start in 2025. The company has also developed some longer-form games in the same style: the 2022 werewolf-themed The Quarry and Dead by Daylight crossover The Casting of Frank Stone, which was released earlier this month.
