I ordered the game on pa4 with a physical copy. What exactly will i have to install? Will it have to be the entire game (so all 30gb odd) or just the patch (500mb)? Just hoping to have to install for hours!

PS4 like Xbox One ships on a blu-ray,

so by my understanding, it's essentially the patch requiring download, not the game.

PC gamers less lucky.

That's sadly not true on PS4, you typically have to install games on ps4; even if they're on blu-rays.The back of the box even says you need at least 40gb spare.

In regards to the OP, you'll need to install the game (around 30gb) and the day one patch (if there is one, I have no idea to be honest).

He means download via internet not install.....for consoles the full game in on the disc so all you need to download is the patch.....the PC only ships one DVD with a few GB on it but most of the game needs to be actually downloaded from Steam so you have a few hours' wait ahead of you after you put the disc in the PC. The patch for the consoles is like 500MB so that's like a 10 minutes' wait and you can play the game without it too.

Thanks guys, I'm less worried about installing off the disc as (hopefully) that will only take 10 mins or so?

That's the biggest day one patch to ever exist I think. Lol Bigger than any 6 games combined. Lol

Ooops, typo....I meant 500MB....the bit where I say it's a 10 minute thing for the consoles should give it away lol.

Also fixed.
