Helldivers 2's Large PC Install Size and Development Challenges Explained
Originally Published 3 months ago — by Eurogamer
Helldivers 2 on PC requires around 150GB due to data duplication used to optimize loading times on HDDs, a method less effective on SSDs. The developers are exploring solutions to reduce the size and improve performance, but significant changes are limited by technical constraints and the need to support HDDs, which are still used by some players. An update is planned to address performance issues, and the game is also available on Xbox Series X/S.
