Game news This PC game takes up as much space on your hard drive as all 3DS games combined
Since the arrival of the seventh generation consoles, games have only gotten bigger. But did you know that a title is as big as all Nintendo 3DS games combined?
Games keep getting bigger
With the introduction of Blu-Ray support, the volume of games has more than tripled. Of course, to give you a telling example, we’re thinking of Red Dead Redemption II, which fits on two Blu-Rays and can take up nearly 100GB on your hard drive. But today, Rockstar Games’ title is far from the most imposing. It must be said that any AAA easily exceeds 100 GB, starting with Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, for example, which reaches 112 GB, or NBA 2K23, which weighs more than 150 GB.
Recently, a YouTuber, namely Jirard Khalil, aka “The Completionist”, made an incredible discovery: a single game is as big as all the titles available on the Nintendo 3DS, just that!
Call of Duty VS Nintendo 3DS
You probably guessed it is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare that has achieved this great achievement of being as big as all Nintendo 3DS games. It must be said that the title with all its game modes can now occupy almost a third of the storage space of a PlayStation 5. An aspect that had also made players groan and subsequently also made Activision react, which added an option to choose the game modes to install on the machine between solo, multiplayer and battle royale. All of these game modes take up around 250GB on PC.
In a few days, from March 27th, the respective eShops of the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS will close, digital stores where you can find all the games for the machine. Therefore, to be sure to have all the titles of the different machines, the YouTuber The Completionist has decided to buy everything. So he paid over $22,700 to purchase a total of 866 Wii U games and 1,547 Nintendo 3DS games.
When a digital store closes or games are delisted, countless titles risk being lost forever. Then I had a silly and crazy idea: “What would it take to save all these Nintendo Wii U and 3DS games from being lost?” The executor
It took the YouTuber more than 328 days to collect all these titles. But in the end he got an amazing surprise: All 1547 Nintendo 3DS games weigh just 267GB compared to 250GB for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and its battle royale Warzone.
Note that Jirard Khalil’s massive collection will go to the Video Game History Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and celebrating the history of games.
