It goes without saying thatStarfieldis going to be a huge game, but after a recent Xbox file update, the game is now chonkier than ever before.
Offering players the chance to delve into the depths of space, join any of nine factions, and investigate the pros and cons of three religions, we knew our consoles would need to be cleared of some dead weight ifStarfieldis to fit. There’s a lot to explore here, with some players having prepped for months after concernsthey’ll lose thousands of hoursof their life to this game.

Nevertheless, while the estimated main story isn’t too overwhelming, the updated file size of 139.84GB is. As one Redditor said “Ouchy. Time to do some cleanup”, and boy oh boy did we share their sentiment. Currently, myXboxis a mess after being out of action for quite some time, so I too feel the need to clean out the cobwebs and dead games…
Others fans were less surprised, however. Big-Concentrate-9859said“Honestly, given the supposed scale of the game, it’s not a bad size. I’m pretty sure myMW2andWarzoneinstall size took up more space.” We can neither confirm or deny if this is the truth, but we believe they have a valid point here;Starfieldis attempting to deliver a space RPG we’ve been waiting for, so requesting a reasonable amount of room to do its thing seems more than fair.
If you need to prepare your Xbox as well, don’t forget you have up until 6 September before the game comes to Xbox and PC.
