Seeing the recent thread that Days Gone's 67GB is Sony's largest first-party game in terms of file size (edit: this is only at launch!), I became curious as to what could be the largest game from various companies.
The obvious ones I wondered about are the Big Three, but I wonder about other companies too, like Capcom or Square Enix. I tried Googling and nobody seems to have definitive answers. It'll take a lot of research unless news stories report for us (in Days Gone's case, for instance), but I think you should be able to make a few educated guesses and then you should be able to find out fairly easily.
For instance, from experience I know that Gears of War 4 has a huge download size, since I downloaded it at launch on PC.
However, what I didn't know is that including DLC and such, the game supposedly hit a whopping 350GB!
The one I'm most curious about is Nintendo. I have to assume the biggest game they've ever made is Super Smash Bros. Ultimate... but that's only 13.6GB. Breath of the Wild, for as sprawling as it is, clocks in with all DLC at 15.6GB.
And yet, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and its expansion hits 16GB. If that's the biggest game Nintendo or its subsidiaries has ever released... that's rather impressively svelte!
However, perhaps I missed something. Let me know, and if you're curious, post your own findings!
So far we have:
Sony: 100GB (Gran Turismo Sport)
Microsoft: 178GB (Quantum Break)
Nintendo: 22GB (Xenoblade Chronicles X)
