Did Microsoft Just Foreshadow 4K Install Sizes with 'Forza Motorsport 7'?

If there was one thing that Microsoft wasn't scared of showing off, it's their Xbox One X, and well, it's graphical capabilities. With the console built from the ground up around 4K, there's no doubt that the console will feature some of the best and most realistic textures to date. There's also no doubt that the console itself will run games at a solid 60 fps according to Microsoft. This proves that the console will be one of the most ambitious as well as technologically ambitious consoles to date.

With Forza Motosport 7 having hit off on a high-note at #E3, you can expect that there's not going to be any shortage of news regarding the game. What if, however, that very game could also highlight what the future of 4K gaming downloads could look like? What if that very game has appeared on the Microsoft Windows store, and is listed download size of 100GB? What if this also displayed the single fact that 4K gaming will be a painful adventure for those with internet bandwidth caps?

Forza 7 Will Eclipse Halo 5: Guardians, Gears of War 4, and The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind in Size

If you are one to download games and prepare for the future of gaming, you know that game sizes are getting gigantic. The Halo: Master Chief Collection pushes a rough 80GB's with all the games updates. In turn Halo 5: Guardians follows up with almost a solid 80GB's with its updates and content while Gears of War 4 follows through in the same aspect with a astounding 100+ GB data size.

While these sound small there's no doubt that these games that are dedicated to Microsoft's Xbox One consoles while The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind sits in at a staggering 87.54GB's with all updates. While these games aren't 4K, it only goes to show that the future of 4K gaming is going to be expensive, it's going to only make those game downloads you've been wanting to see even bigger. However, there's no doubt that Forza 7 before DLC and updates will eclipse all of these current games just with its base install.

4K Gaming on the Xbox One X Will be Troublesome as Far as Hard Drive Space Goes

When it comes to 4K gaming, we are all looking forward to what could come of it in the long run. Many of us are quite possibly looking forward to us as game companies look to move forward with higher resolutions, frame rates, and better performances than ever before. While it's already set in motion for 1080P to slowly die out, we need to take a look at an even bigger problem, and one that Forza 7 brings to light.

We won't have enough hard drive space.

With consoles averaging only 1TB of data, there's no doubt that we will find ourselves coming to an impasse with gaming developers, and the price of extra hard drive space. Luckily for us, portable hard drives make for awesome ways to backup our data, and have our extra install space. While those 2, 4, and 6TB portal hard drives are accessible; they are a bit hard to get your hands on.
