    What is the real GB size of the games available on the Microsoft Store?


    I have noticed that a lot of games on the Microsoft Game Store claim that the file size of some games, such as Call of Duty: Ghosts is only 20.49GB on the game store but I had a physical copy (standard edition) of it and the data on it was over 30GB which was loaded onto my Xbox One Console. And another discrepancy is the file size for the Metro Saga Bundle. It says the file size for the entire bundle is just 7.55GB (Note: there are three whole games in this bundle), 7.55GB is the same exact file size for Metro Exodus. What is the real file size of these games? I'd like to buy some of these games, namely the Metro Saga Bundle, and I have a good amount of room available on my console's memory space but I'd like to know the correct GB amount that the games will load onto my Xbox One Console. Also what is confusing is the size of the updates for the Master Chief Collection, the game itself shows up as only 20.18MB on the Microsoft Store but the updates for it so far have been 60GB+ in size! Even with the physical copy! Why are all these games mislabeled with such small memory space requirements that leave us customers wondering how much memory space we will actually have left after buying a game?

    Not unless you can tell me if any delisted games will ever be relisted. Some have, but none of the really good ones.

    Hi there Zero welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan and been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. I completely understand were you're coming from; the size on the Microsoft Store is accurate for the first "version" of the game.

    Call Of Duty Modern Warfare is a clear example of what you are stating; the game weights around 20 G.B but after the updates it almost is 100 G.B! Why do Microsoft doesn't put the final size of the game on the store? The answer I got it from Xbox support and they told me that this is due to how unpredictable updates are, a developer/publisher can update his game 10 times a week, making this the game heavier or lighter! And Microsoft would have to change the size everytime, updating the store as well.

    So yes, this is a reason, I completely understand your concern, I was on the same spot as you are, unfortunately right now the only way to know the real size of a gane is to download it ourselves! Or try to find the final size on a forum! (But like I said, there are a lot of updates for games so the forum size might be outdated.)

    most games are delisted due to music or car licences expiring or some other content licence expiring, which means they cannot legally sell that game anymore hence the delisting.

    Many games are becoming modular to deal with disc space issues. For example the new Mass Effect remaster can download each game seperate lt

    In these games, it usually reports the size of the launcher, because the store is just reading the sizes from the database

    You should look at game websites, forums, and social media feeds for answers to these kinds of questions and they will be much more direct and accurate.
