NetEase Game compression update saves storage space
The team-based PvP superhero shooter receives this update across all supported platforms. NetEase Game implemented a massive texture compression overhaul to achieve these gains. The studio claims they did not sacrifice a single pixel of visual fidelity during the process.
- PC Install Size Reduction: 40 GB
- Console Install Size Reduction: 15 GB
- Update Name: Season 9.5
PC players can expect a reduction of roughly 40 GB in the final install size. The PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions are expected to decrease by 15 GB each. Initial download sizes might appear larger due to asset repackaging, but the final footprint will be smaller.
