fotoman1949: I keep seeing all kinds of rumors about a 49GB patch in addition to the 59GB pre-load we already got.
I don't normally pay much attention to internet rumors but the difference between our 59GB pre-load and the console size that is 100GB+ does have me wondering if there's a second massive DL coming.
Any official word on how big the Day 1 patch will be?
The 49GB patch was console only because the console versions are what they spent the last 3 weeks trying to get consoles up to the same scratch as the PC version. PC version patch will be nowhere near as big, but they have yet to mention how big it's going to be. I also don't think it's going to be a preload patch, either. We're under 24 hours to go until launch now, so it's definitely a Day 1 instead of a Day 0 like all the websites are reporting.
In addition to the launch patch (to include the vital bits of the game that were purposefully left out so people couldn't crack the preload and play early) there should not be
that big of a patch. 10GB max if I were to guess, but who knows. It could end up being fairly large. I just really don't think so.
I have heard from Steam users that there's a scheduled update for Cyberpunk that's scheduled "in 5 minutes" that is perpetually "in 5 minutes" and that timer never counts down. Nobody has mentioned if that patch shows a size, but that there is your Day 1 patch. GOG Galaxy just does a better job of hiding it.
