DLSS 3 Accelerates Performance In S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl by 2.4X on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs at 4K with All Settings Maxed

Super cool, but 700 GB, ouch doesn't quite explain the hurt for the download.

Yikes! But is the game update 700GB or is that just the optional modding tools?

Because the original game release was "only" 160GB.

I wonder if the game is still insanely CPU limited, or if the optimizations they are talking about also help with that...

I think that includes the modding tools but I'm not 100% sure.

I think you are right.

The wording in the article linked by @DrezKill seems to suggest as much:

Eurogamer Article said:
That's alongside the release of official modding tools for Stalker 2, which are currently available via the Epic Games Store. Interested parties might want to brace themselves, however; you'll need somewhere in the region of 700GB harddrive space to install them.

They certainly could have used clearer language, but it sure sounds like the 700GB is for the modding tools, and is separate from the game patch.
 
Yeah, and I still get a little stressed over 100-150GB installs but I know that usually pays off with nice cut-scenes or texture packs. Thankfully some 4TB NVMe drives have begun dropping in price over the last 12-24 months. Happy to have one each in the 9800X3D rig and laptop.

Yea Im running a 4tb in my desktop. Personal laptop just 1tb but I've backed out of mmo gaming so don't feel the need to game online while traveling for work.
