Memory Crisis Reappears, NBA 2K21 XSX version has a capacity of up to 120GB

With the upcoming launch of next-generation consoles this month, many games will soon launch next-generation versions. Although the loading speed and screen of many games have been greatly improved, the game capacity has also increased. It is reported that the Xbox Series X version of 2K's next-generation NBA game NBA 2K21 even exceeds 120GB. Let's take a look!

Due to the limited storage of next-generation mainframes, and the external SSD required is not cheap, many players hope that next-generation games' capacity can be reduced. Although Ubisoft seems to have successfully reduced the game capacity of Assassin's Creed: Hall of Valor to the current generation level (XSX/S version 45GB, X1 version 44GB), 2K does not, because the NBA 2k21 XSX version has a terrifying capacity 121.7GB.

The news comes from a detailed screenshot of the game in the Xbox store shared by a Reddit player. The data in the screenshot is the pre-release version. It is not clear whether 2K will be updated to reduce the capacity of the game. It is worth mentioning that the Xbox Series S console has only 346GB of free space, but Microsoft previously stated that the XSS version of the game would be about 30% smaller to save valuable fast storage space.
