For reference, Capcom’s recently released Street Fighter 6 has a file size of around 50-60 GB depending on the platform you’re on. Of course, given that this build of Tekken 8 is mainly meant to test the game’s server and network capabilities, it likely won’t contain everything the game has to offer, so we can expect a much larger size when the game gets fully released. And given the plethora of trailers for various Tekken 8 characters we’ve gotten earlier this year, it wouldn’t be surprising if the game’s file size was just as large, if not larger than, Street Fighter 6.
If you’re interested in Tekken 8, we at MP1st will be participating in the closed network test when it goes live, so be sure to be on the lookout for our first impressions of the game!
Great article, thanks for posting this look forward to new post that get submitted.
