    Why a game that I download get more gb that it have to?


    Look yesterday I was trying to download lego star wars the skywalker saga and how Xbox showed it has 38 Gb and on my computer, at that moment I had 58. So I put it at the download and decided to go away, after some time when I come back I saw that my computer says that I don't have enough space for this game so I check how much GB I have after the not success download and I had only 200 Mb. SO WHY?

    :)

    Why a game that I download get more gb that it have to?

    Hi

    Welcome to Microsoft community.

    I'm glad to help you.

    Normally, this is a relatively common situation, since there may be updated content such as dlc during the new release of the game, which may cause the download size to exceed the expected size. You can try to replace a hard disk partition with more free space for download and installation.

    If anything is unclear, please do not hesitate to let me know.

    Best regards

    Games with Gold September 2016

    ..............

    Hello everyone :)

    ...........

    At the moment, I have 267 GBs free from my 500 GB (sorry, I forgot that the OS hogs up 125 GBs from the get go)...

    375 GB HDD left

    ...........

    With that being said, I believe that Rise Of Iron is going to be around 20 GBs so that download time is probably going to take about 3 1 / 2 also.

    ..........

    In response to me downloading a game just because it is only 4.4 GBs big, please stop trying to make sense of it because I stand with my statement

    " Yes, the ONLY reason that I'm downloading it is because it is a small file size :) "

    ..........

    Please just let it go and please stop trying to make sense of why you don't understand why I would download a 4.4 GB game and not play it :)

    Thank you :)

    ............

    Have a nice day or afternoon or night everyone :)

    .............

    HALO Collection 20GB update for Day one available now.

    Downloaded mine yesterday and the update was included in the game now but total download was 57.9 GB plus 0.1 GB dlc making 58GB in total.

    This seems to be what some others have also got but alot of others have 59.1 GB total.

    Anyone know why the difference ? I'm in the UK if that could be why

    Problem with kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (games on Demand)

    There is no 12 gb hard drive. The drive should have been 20 gb minimum. Perhaps that may be the issue. Why not try getting a usb flash drive (up to 32 gb), format it on your pc before configuring it for the console and download the game there.

    Let me know if that works.

    The mixer failed and constant issues of power cycle every day

    Tell me why I cant use GB when downloading stuff while watch the mixture the game I follow.Not sure why it does this every day.Not sure the mixer is downloading while it broadcast.This feature is too hard for myself when I broadcast my games.I hope the
    mixer will add two more services like youtube and twitch for broadcasting more easier.
