In a recent revelation, a developer from Arrowhead Game Studios explained why the PC version of Helldivers 2 demands approximately three times more storage than its console counterparts. The primary reason lies in the need to accommodate players still using mechanical hard disk drives (HDDs), which necessitates the duplication of certain game assets to enhance loading speeds. This approach ensures that players with slower read speeds can still enjoy a seamless gaming experience, albeit at the cost of increased storage requirements.
