Given the new hardware of both the PS5 and Xbox Series X, this is likely why the file sizes were able to be optimised and kept to a minimum, unlike some other triple-A titles where the file size exceeds 90Gb. However, for Xbox One it is available for around 27.60 GB for the preload and for Xbox Series X/S it is around 51.42 GB. These numbers had arrived by the way of a leak so it is not concrete yet on what to expect for the file size when it officially releases. The file size of Battlefield 2042 is a lot less significant than most players thought it would be, surprisingly, the experience on PlayStation 5 is estimated at 42.389 GB in the US and 42.717 GB in the EU. Preloading the game brings great advantages in terms of not having to wait any longer when the game releases so you can get into the experience as soon as possible.
