Watch Dogs on current-gen requires mandatory install

4.3
If you’re planning to pick up Watch Dogs on current-gen machines, prepare yourself for a mandatory install. Ubisoft has confirmed the requirement, although the size of the install has not been confirmed. The game will also ship on two discs. “It’s the same thing as GTA[5],” said creative director Jonathon Morin.

He is of course referring to the Xbox 360 version. It’s a safe assumption that it should fit on a single disc for Wii U and a single Blu-ray disc for the PlayStation 3 release.

The launch is looming, as Watch Dogs releases on current-gen consoles on November 22. As of yet, we haven’t see any footage of the current-gen version. Morin offered this comments to VideoGamer: “It looks pretty good.”

Lavish I'm okay with a install or two as long as i'm going to get to play the game.
I just wish it didn't get delayed like it did.


I don't mind an update either. But, I truly hope its worth it.

I'm getting it for PS3 and maybe PS4 unsure yet but from what I have seen of the footage of Watch Dogs it looks like an awesome game and I cannot wait to play it.


I would just wait till ps4, campaign data wont transfer


I'm going to agree with PawnStars here. This way you won't have to restart your entire save because of not being able to transfer the game data.

Texans why do these games need an install


Because of the wide texture variety. Many games need to be installed
