How the hell does this game take up over 50 GB!?!?!???

If this game was like Injustice (with 20+ hours of story cutscenes), then yeah I could understand it. But, we're talking less than 30 characters (with some alternate styles and color palettes thrown in), and roughly 25 stages. Most of the "Story" is basic text screens, and little 3-second victory / intro animations. I know the audio quality is good, and may be uncompressed, but geez. I've seen games with FAR more content take up far less space.

How the hell did this game manage to consume so much disk space???

What makes you say they used full quality audio?

Well, I'm trying to think of ways the game could consume so much disk space. The game soundtrack has a fair amount of music, and most games use compressed audio to save space (especially console games). If they used uncompressed audio on this PC release, that could play into the game install size.

Still, 50 GB for this game is baffling. Sorry for the confusion. I edited the OP.

Yeah some other games are bigger than that ? try cod ww2 edition that came out recently.
But being on a cable modem it took less than 2 hours tops at best.
Just enjoy the game for what it is, I know I am and its pretty bad ass for a 2017 edition of KI.

Uncompressed audio. Highest quality video & texture compression meant for 4k displays.
Just a guess.
I’ve often wondered the same thing.
I think I only have two other games that take up more space.
