New consoles and PCs come with a generous amount of hard drive space for installing your favourite games, but you can quickly run out of room by downloading just a few modern AAA titles. Of course, these games benefit from gorgeous graphics and gargantuan worlds compared to older games, but at a massive cost of hard drive space, so much so that you could store an entire library of games from an older machine for the same amount of space that one modern game requires.
As spotted by Twitter user NCSmaster, if you were to download every single 3DS game from the eShop, together, they would be almost the same size as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Their tweet highlights an article by ArsTechnica from 2022 in which it states that Modern Warfare, together with Warzone, needs a total of around 250GB on PC. While the combined size of all 1,547 3DS titles, over $13,000 worth of games, is 267GB. Additionally, every Wii U game comes to 1.2TB, which, as Twitter user Jon Cartwright points out, "comes to the size of like 6 modern games".
