Capcom’s Highly Anticipated Sequel Prepares for Launch with Manageable Install Size
Dragon’s Dogma 2 fans rejoice as pre-loading becomes available on Xbox Series X/S, offering an early glimpse into the game’s surprisingly compact file size.
A user on the Xbox Series X subreddit in Spain has shared news of the digital pre-order for Dragon’s Dogma 2, allowing players to download the full game ahead of its scheduled launch next week. While pre-loading is common practice for major releases, Capcom’s lack of an official announcement regarding Dragon’s Dogma 2’s pre-load date adds an element of surprise to the situation.
What’s even more astonishing is the game’s modest base install size, clocking in at just under 70GB. Despite previous discussions highlighting the expansive scope and scale of Dragon’s Dogma 2, boasting a map size four times larger than its predecessor, many expected the sequel to occupy a more substantial portion of storage space, potentially nearing the 100GB mark.
With Dragon’s Dogma 2 set to debut on March 22, players have ample time to complete the download process for the base game. However, it remains unclear when pre-loads will become available for PS5 and PC users, as Capcom has yet to provide further details on this matter.
In the meantime, eager fans can indulge in the Dragon’s Dogma 2 Character Creator demo, allowing them to craft their protagonist and lead Pawn ahead of the game’s official release. As evidenced by early creations in the character creator, the possibilities are endless, ranging from familiar faces like Todd Howard to whimsical interpretations of pop culture icons.
