Paul Rustchynsky, Driveclub's Director, has took to Twitter today to announce the final install size of their upcoming PS4 exclusive racer. Considering the teases we've been getting, showcasing the amazing graphics and stunning weather effects, you'd think the game's install size would be pretty gigantic. Turns out, it's not so bad.
The team at Evolution Studios was able to compress the game down to 17GB, which is actually comparable to Bungie's Destiny, which clocks in at a similar size. Regardless of whether you're buying digital or physical, that's going to be your install size once the game releases on October 7th.
With #DRIVECLUB having gone gold I get plenty of questions about the install size. We managed to compress it to just ~17GB in the end 🙂

And of course Evolution Studios has already mentioned that their load times are going to be extremely quick, and the reiterated that in this Tweet as well.
@mjovs12 I'll take that bet. DRIVECLUB's loading times are amazing. On average about 10 seconds or less on a stock HDD.
