The installation of Monster Hunter World will occupy 16GB on the hard drive of PlayStation 4 when it launches this month, according to information leaked through a cover of the game. Although the information is in reference to the Sony console, it is the platform on which information has been leaked, it is expected to be similar on Xbox One.
The game occupies a relatively small size on the hard drive, but it should not be confused with the download size for those who buy it digitally: the installation is 16GB, but we do not know how much data is on the disk. This size should be taken into account in the case of users who do not opt for the disk edition of the game.
It is possible that the installation is only of fundamental components and that there are more files that should be subsequently stored on the hard disk with an update of the first day.
In any case, we must wait for an official information made public by Capcom. The game will be released on January 26 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The PC version will come later.
