On consoles, DOOM: The Dark Ages has almost no data stored on disk
, by Thibaut
More bad news for game preservation. The first physical copies of DOOM: The Dark Ages have arrived ahead of the scheduled May 15 release date (May 13 in early access).
On the forums, users have noticed a mention on the box indicating that an internet connection is required to play. And there's a good reason for this... On Xbox Series, the Blu-ray appears to contain only 324 MB of data. The rest has to be downloaded. On PS5, this would fall to just 85.01 MB.
Remember that a Blu-ray can hold up to 100 GB of data on these machines...
