Installation details of Xbox One launch titles revealed

Thanks to some goof ups at various retailers, a lucky few have managed to get their hands on the Xbox One . One of them, a NeoGAF user with the alias Moonlightswami, has revealed the installation sizes of some of the launch games available for Microsoft’s next-gen consoles. In case you’re thinking this might be a bluff, Moonlightswami has been identified by Microsoft as being one of the few to get the console early.

Some of the installation sizes for the next-gen titles seem reasonable, while others seem straight out unreasonable. While a 20GB for the open-world Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag makes some sense, a 43GB install for NBA 2K14 seems to be too high for a basketball game. However, we still aren’t sure how good these games actually look, so it is entirely possible that the large installation sizes include high-resolution textures as well as high-quality audio.
