We're still waiting on preloads to go live on Xbox for the highly anticipated release of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor later this month, but an early screenshot appears to show that we'll need around 140GB of space on Xbox Series X for it.
This image has been doing the rounds over the past 24 hours on social media, presumably captured by someone with access to a review copy. There's also been a suggestion that the Series S version could be significantly smaller...
We'd suggest not reading too much into the Series S figure just yet, as we haven't seen any concrete proof of a 44GB download, and of course we're still a couple of weeks away from launch - so things could change before release.
The same could be said of the 140GB download on Xbox Series X, as perhaps this is just an early download size that will be reduced in time for April 28th, but it does appear the PS5 version is also around the same figure:
Whatever the final Xbox Series X size might be, it's probably worth clearing some storage space now!
How excited are you for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor? Let us know down in the comments below.

That'll only take 7 hours and 47 minutes for me... (only got 40 Mbps, but there was a time I was getting 14 Mbps...)
Honestly though... that's... a lot.
@TryToBeHopeful Oh, I'm still getting 14 Mbps.
This download size scares me.
I get 6 Mbps, so I might be playing by Christmas 🎅 😂
Times like this I miss Stadia. File sizes were a non issue.
@Dezzy70 I used to get 4 mbps on a good day and it roughly took 2 years to download Microsoft Flight Simulator. Thankfully, I've upgraded to a better broadband service.
Jeez; time to go delete some games that I say I’ll come back to but we all know I never will. The force is strong with this one.
@blockfight chicken and egg problem. I only get 10 mbps at best and never was able to play stadia or other cloud streaming services like xbox cloud games. So you need better internet to stream games well enough, but with better internet you can just download games fast and no need for streaming games...
Good to know I’m not the only one in the UK who still gets garbage download speeds 🤣.
140gig. Oofff. I have the space, I’m just not sure I’m interested in this game to buy it straight away, even though I really enjoyed the first.
@FraserG News Editor needs more than 14 Mbps!
At my old place, the best ADSL I could get was 14Mbps, until I switched to Virgin, and got 200!. New place doesn't have Virgin, and max ADSL is still only 40, but that's not that bad...
@Fenbops presumably it will come to EA Play / gamepass eventually...
this is the age of 4K textures
@TryToBeHopeful Tell me about it! No choice where I live unfortunately.
@Sam_TSM that's not really how it works.. this is actually the best case scenario: the Series S has a much lower file size since it doesn't use the same resources
EDIT: also, RT and fps aren't an issue in regards to game size, it's mostly textures (and videos maybe?)
doesnt bother me when its on EAplay next year i will download it overnight pay it the next day.
storage doesnt bother me either i just move the games im not playing
@RainOcampo Think I was getting speeds of roughly 20mbs at the time which still meant long download times for big file size games, but it was more than good enough to run Stadia. I was in that "sweetspot".
But I know what you mean. I still get to kind of enjoy that feeling when a game comes to xCloud. Love trying out new games that way without having to download a massive file first, especially if the game turns out to be not for me.
I can never tell with EA-- is this coming to Game pass ultimate?
is this game 60 fps?
The size some of these games become makes me miss the days of putting the disk or cartridge in the system and play. It seemed a lot more simple then.
Though there’s advantages with downloading the games to the system as sometimes there’s an update to a bug that could break a games progression.
@Sam_TSM you could have the S version of the game available to X users, but i wonder if it wouldn’t be too confusing
Maybe this will have a shrinkable 4K component to remove 4K textures like Hogwarts Legacy or Persona 5 Royal. - That shed quite a bit of GB when you drop the 4K for the Series S.
I can’t be bothered with such big downloads
Oof. I hate these massive games. the Avengers game is 140Gb or so to install which is bigger than Flight Simulator or Forza Horizon 5 with all the DLC. I cannot believe that there's not a way to trim these files sizes down.
Though what does the developer have to gain from that? Uncompressing textures, etc. takes CPU time so imagine if the game got a reputation for a "bad frame rate" so why take the risk?
This is the price of next-gen only.
I get that it sucks if you don't have access to better internet, as some places especially in the USA, don't give you choice of providers, but then you had a choice over whether to buy a Series S, Series X and go physical or digital.
@Mauzuri I just said it there, so I guess you're wrong?!
I'm guessing the actual game assets are about 20 GB, and the rest is uncompressed audio and video. One cutscene is like 4 to 6 GB.
This company (not M$) EA is it? needs to hire Nintendo Wizards to do their compression!
