By completely de-duplicating our data, we were able to reduce PC installation sizes from ~154GB to ~23GB, for a total savings of ~131GB.”

The developers stated that the file size reduction should have “minimal” impact on load time, “seconds at most”. The original file size was quite large because the developers were copying game asset data to improve load times on the mechanical HDD, which they estimated took up about 11 percent. hell diver 2 Players are currently using.
