    Shrinkable games


    on checking out the Mange storage area of options I’ve found that there is a shrinkable games option and a Forza 7 shows that it can be shrunk by 28.6 GB. Anyone know what’s actual happens if I do shrink?

    :)

    If you like shooters, try Halo 5. Star Wars Battlefront. Or plants vs zombies garden warfare 2.

    Do you have the download 4k assets option switched on?

    It's in the Backup&Transfer options

    Apparently the main function of shrink option is to be able to delete all the 4k assets to save hard drive space. This is especially useful on the OG xbox One and the Xbox One S as they can't actually use the 4k assets

    Hi ChopDaLyricolig,

    Thanks for asking a great question here on the forums. As our Ambassadors have outlined, it is essentially a way to make a bit more storage on your console by removing old add-ons and "shrinking" the space taken up by currently installed (and mainly
    unused) games. If you happen to have an external hard drive, you can also manage the storage on it in this manner as well.

    Here's a great support article about how to enable that: Xbox One system settings.

    Since there is no further information to add and in an effort to minimize repetitive answers we will be locking this thread, but if you have any further questions or concerns feel free to come back to the Xbox forum (Do not repost the same question
    or thread as that would violate the Xbox Forum Guidelines).

    Happy gaming and thanks again for coming to the forums.

    Shrinkable games are games that allow "cleaning and organization" of installed files, reducing the size it occupies on the storage device.

    As a couple of the others have mentioned, maybe it just strips away the things you dont need. Texture Packs, additional languages, unneeded data that could be streamed from the cloud rather than stored on your xbox.

    Sure would help with the limited space though.
