Sonic Origins File Sizes For Standard, Digital Deluxe Versions Revealed

The collection of four classic Sonic games, Sonic Origins, release in just under a month, and we've got an idea of just how much free space you'll need to make to have all four of these Mega Drive / Genesis games in one bundle.

Of course, it's not that simple, is it? There are a few different digital versions of the game which caused some confusion when the June release date officially dropped. As you'd expect, the package won't take up a ton of room, but both eh standard and Digital Deluxe versions are a little chunkier than you might expect.

Sonic Origins' standard release will be around 3.6GB. Amazingly, that's bigger than Sonic Mania (which is a tiny 390MB), Hollow Knight, and ARMS. The Digital Deluxe release is more than twice the size of this, at an impressive 7.8GB — that means it's larger than both Sonic Forces and Sonic Colors Ultimate on the Switch. How did the blue blur manage that?

The game includes Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic CD, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and will have its own Story Mode with new cutscenes, but you'll only be able to play as Sonic in this mode. However, those animations, cutscenes, and the extra DLC included in the Deluxe release must be doing some extra work to help beef up its size.
