<img alt="A 23GB Helldivers 2 Is Better Than A 154GB Helldivers 2" src="https://aftermath.site/content/images/2025/12/page_bg_raw.png" /><p>When <em>Helldivers 2</em> first launched on PC, its installation size was a whopping 154GG. It is now, thanks to the magic of Going Back And Taking A Look At Things, a measly 23GB. Please, God, let this be the one good trend in video games for 2026.</p><p>Developer Arrowhead first announced plans to shrink the PC version&apos;s size down<a href="https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/543369627969783286?l=english&amp;ref=aftermath.site"> <u>last month</u></a>, saying that 154GB figure was &quot;roughly three times larger than the same game installed on consoles!&quot; The reason given for this was that the team wanted to support older mechanical hard drives found on older PCs (all modern consoles have solid state drives), and so in order to give players with those HDDs a playable experience, they &quot;duplicated&quot; a bunch of assets like textures and sound effects, so that a mechanical hard drive didn&apos;t need to go reaching all over its surface area just to respond to what was happening at speed on the screen.</p><p>Which sounds wonderful in theory, but months of analytics post-release<a href="https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/491583942944621371?ref=aftermath.site"> <u>have revealed</u></a> that not only are a small number of <em>Helldivers 2 </em>players actually using a mechanical HDD--around 11%--

@steamdeckhq That’s mindblowing. Call of Duty, Rainbow Six Siege, and other #AAAA games had me believing all games now have to have a tenth or more of a whole disk dedicated to them. #arrowheadgamestudios are incredible

#CallofDuty and #Rainbow6Siege should take note. Those games are ballooning way too big #arrowheadgamestudios #Helldivers2 #liveservice #gamedev

HOLY HELL, DIVERS
#arrowheadgamestudios were tasked by the #Helldivers2 community with reducing the installation size of the game and I cannot believe what they’re reporting:

“By completely de-duplicating our data we were able to reduce the PC installation size from ~154GB to ~23GB, for a total saving of ~131GB (~85%)”

Not only are these devs incredible game designers, setting the gold standard for #liveservice games, they’re clearly technical geniuses as well

How on earth do you find lasting, meaningful success with a live-service game? Developers answer the "billion dollar question"
