Ubisoft is doing a ‘data restructuring’ on Assassin’s Creed Valhalla that will save players tens of GBs of space, but there’s a hitch.
An important new update is coming Assassin’s Creed Valhalla early to prepare for some DLC in the upcoming second year of the game. The good news is that the main focus of the update is on making Assassin’s Creed Valhallafile size is significantly smaller on all supported platforms. The bad news is that to do so, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will force the player to download the entire game at the new file size.

Xbox One also gets 30GB back, but the real winner will be Xbox Series X Platform / WILL. These two consoles will reclaim 44GB of space, which should be enough to hold several other games.
