ReCore is probably the most intriguing of Microsoft’s exclusive line-up for this year is Keiji Inafune’s ReCore, an action-adventure game following a girl named Joule. For a while now, the store page has had the standard 106-megabyte placeholder instead of the game’s actual install size.
The install size for the Xbox Play anywhere exclusive may be a lot smaller than you would think with the twelve-hour campaign weighing in at a frankly tiny 6.45-gigabyte install size. This is either an incredible feat of compression or ReCore may be a smaller game than we think. In a year where the majority of games take upwards of 30 gigabytes on your hard-drive, having a smaller game for once is quite the treat.
