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.
