if you're on PlayStation, PlayStation requires you have enough space to download everything and then enough space to decompress it

Did anyone notice that this game is over 6 gigabytes of programming? I believe the number was over 6 gigabytes of storage when I downloaded it. That's one component of what I mean when I say "paradigm shift". Someday soon (5 years?), we will be playing monumental
games that require 20 gigabytes of storage or more. Can you imagine a Skyrim experience that's 20 gigabytes in size?

There is no error message. My ram is 32 gigabytes, processor is the 11th gen intel core i7 11700K, my graphics card is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, and I have windows 11. The games I am trying to play is goat simulator and forza horizon 5

I'm guessing that the big download is for the extra cars in the day one edition

That's 6 Gb of initial Drivatar data to get you running (basically the driving styles of everyone who's played it since Beta). Now you see why this game NEEDS cloud computing, as it will do very small incremental updates from now on.
