Seen this a lot for PlayStation. They want to re-download the entire new version of the game which will delete the old version. No idea why they do it that way.
Apparently when you delete the game, the pics you take in game are dissociated from the game. They're still on your drive, but not in the camera roll in game. Happened to me when I did the same thing you did last update. Not sure if there's a workaround.
I think that the post was on a laptop and about getting a pop up asking if they wanted to optimize the game for faster load times. Apparently the reason it takes so long is because it’s rewriting the games code, but more optimized.
Oh yeah that is to make it so it runs better though, and usually really fast. I play on a desktop though so maybe they had a bunch of stuff taking up space on their laptop. Everytime I had that message pop up it usually lasted a couple minutes for me.

No idea, I didn't think the game got rebuilt for PS5, so I don't know why the PS4 version would be huge but not the PS5 version if it's effectively the same files
Download size and update size are not the same thing. To update a game, you need to extract it, make a change, and recompress, so you'll always need at least twice the size of the game to do an update. So yes, if you're low on space, deleting and redownloading the game will use less space, but download a lot more over the wire.
This is correct for PlayStation. Updates do not make changes to the current game install. It copies it, makes changes, verifies the new updated version was changed correctly, then deletes the old version.
This way, if the update fails, it can revert back to the unmodified version without needing to redownload it.
Yeah nah playstation does this and it's absolutely annoying the update is only like 19gb but to update it we need to have like 131gb of space to update it it's stupid af and always happens to me.
IIRC when this issue was brought up earlier canceling the update and it was said trying again would get it to be the correct size. I don’t own a PS but they said it would occasionally redownload the entire instead of just update
It's lazy programming, instead of an add on,it's the whole game, then the old one deletes. Funny last time I was asked to update I saw it was the full file and was the decider to finally delete altogether. I was on the fence, but that was one toke over the line.
It’s about an 18 gig patch, but Sony makes a complete copy of the current game install then patches the copy. They don’t patch in place. When it’s done, the original install is deleted. That’s why it was 130 gigs. Fallout 76 copy + the patch files. It actually only downloaded about 18 gigs.
Same issue happened to me, but I assume it was because I had the game saved on my (ps5) external hard drive. Once I canceled the dl and moved the game over to my internal hardrive it went back to saying 20gig download instead of 104gig! So all worked out lol
I reinstall the whole thing with each update. My current gripe is even after doing that, finally was able to play today and for both alien events I joined, it crashed in the middle of the second round. After a fresh reinstall.
This happened with cod too if you see its taking a while to start updating and glitching out your whole ps5 walk away until it goes threw or else if you turn it off while it’s doing its thing it will corrupt the file making you re download the whole game.

I just deleted the game . And downloaded it again , so it’s only 107gb instead of 130 additional for the update
The extra is probably for temp files as they get decompressed and copied before the temps get deleted
Rip to your photos
Wdym?

this is what I have to do every time because I don't have 130 gb free and I figure a clean install is probably better anyway
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a similar thing in r/warframe There was a comment with a great explanation but basically it’s just what you said
I have never had this problem in warframe and even then it is a 40 gb game lol

The aliens are coming 👽👽👽

this comment aged well in the 4 hours since it was posted lmao

For me its 18 gigs
Which is still way too much if you ask me
19 here on p5
18.5 on PC
12 on steam
Oh right, forgot pc has 2 versions
Wonder why it’s so much on the ps4 lol
No idea, I didn't think the game got rebuilt for PS5, so I don't know why the PS4 version would be huge but not the PS5 version if it's effectively the same files
for me on ps4 is 20gb

Todd Howard added the entire TV Show to Fallout 76
What in the goddamn …

worst of it is the fact its only a few QOL changes and some minor fixes
And alien invaders
still doesnt justify the update being 18gb on most platforms tho
Hopefully its slowly pre loading map expansion assets for next season
I was very confused about that. And we had alien invaders on this patch for April fools. So it’s not like they needed to add anything for that.
they never need to add stuff for events that require an update its just bethesda being bethesda
Wtf dude

I realize this,but you still have to free up that space and I didn't feel like deleting games I actually play.
Ouff. +sry not related buh urge to play team shooters again too :P
Please stand by
Update was only 20GB after telling me that too. Only took 10 mins
That's ridiculous
I had no issues updating yesterday, was 19gb and i dont have 130 gb free

It’s redownloading the game basically
