It's no surprise, but it looks as though Halo Infinite's file size is going to be pretty huge. With the campaign, multiplayer, and the foundations for an ever-expanding game, it makes sense. A recently 'leaked' image is currently making the rounds on social media, placing its total file size at 97.24GB on Xbox.
It should be noted that we're not entirely sure when this image originated from, so it could potentially be fake, but at first glance it looks to be the real deal. We're assuming this would be for the Xbox Series X version specifically:
Obviously, Halo Infinite hasn't gone gold yet, so this file size could fluctuate substantially until then, although it's not really a shock that it could potentially be around 100GB. With how gargantuan the overall package is planning to be, it may be best to start preparing some additional space on your console.
Would you be surprised to see Halo Infinite's file size be 100GB? Drop us a comment and let us know.

Does it allow you to install what you want? E.g. campaign separately from multiplayer because you can always remove the campaign once you finish it. Keep playing multiplayer.
Honestly I'm ok with that... I'll just delete CoD, which I don't play anymore (and probably never will again)... and, as great an achievement as Flight Simulator is, I'll be bored of it by November.
So that'll free up a massive chunk of disk space, once I've removed those two (plus any gamepass fodder that I haven't touched).
Coincidentally exact the same size as the pre-install size of flightsim?
Greetings, pilots!
Microsoft Flight Simulator for Xbox Series X|S is available to pre-load today!
Download size is 97.24GB.
Prepare for takeoff on Xbox Series X|S on July 27
That's if you want 'everything' installed at once - but they have already stated that you could install or delete the parts' you want
I'm really worried about what file sizes will be like later in the lifespan of the Series X. With the memory expansion card costing an absolute fortune, and it being proprietary unlike PS5. We could get to a point where you would fill the 1Tb storage with only half a dozen games a few years down the line. I really hope developers start reigning in file sizes.
It’s fine with me, I want games big and graphical, 4k texture and 4K hdr, ray tracing the lot on my series x. So if I want that I have to expect bigger file sizes.
I wonder if we will see a 2tb card expansion one day soon.
Them cards need to go on sale in places other than the UK. Also i believe that the beard mentioned that more manufacturers would be making the cards at some point so come on competition....bring them prices down!
How long until more manufacturers can start producing competitive memory expansion? It’s a great solution for adding space, but $220 for 1tb is taking advantage of early adopters.
Might be the time to finally dive in and get that Seagate SSD card..
I wouldn't really call that big. Anything under 100GB now'a'days is a blessing. It is the PS3issue all over again. Just on on Xbox and Playstation now.
Series X has enough storage for this. It's a great opportunity to play that backlog for clearance =)
@SplooshDmg ok I'll have to keep an eye out for that. It's $290 CAD regularly so that's too much. I'll just keep deleting games as i have unlimited internet until i can get it cheaper.
@SplooshDmg Tell me about it! Especially with forced installs, and developers, Kojima being a key offender, not even compressing game assets, bloating file sized even more.
Atleast with the 360 you weren't forced to install games until much later in the cycle. And even then it was normally just a partial.
CoD: I ain't sharing.
@PhileasFragg true enough, they even at one point highlighted that games in the future will be smaller because of the next gen devices and this could ofcourse be totally fake but it's discouraging to say the least. Infinite doesn't even look that graphically impressive for it to be this big.
@SplooshDmg That'd be neat, I am however not into Halo so I don't know much about how big that ring is supposed to be.
Good. I have my 1TB expansion card. I'm ready.
@SplooshDmg is that patrol situation purely hypothetical or can we in fact expect some kind of 'help settlement' type of mission? I ask because from the trailers I've gathered that all the good guys are supposed to be dead or in hiding, seems a bit odd to have to go to help people who are just out there.
Thanks for the explanation though!
@SplooshDmg alright, all sounds very nice. Thanks for the detailed explanation again.
Surprise, surprise. Why would anyone think this game would be less than 100 GB? MCC is 138 GB. Halo 5 is 99 GB. Makes no difference to me. I came prepared with the extra 1 TB storage card. I'm ready.
Halo 5 has a 97 gb install size on my xbox.
Honestly I don't care what size it is. I'm installing as soon as it's available.
