Space Marine 2’s free texture pack will eat your SSD space

Space Marine 2 has received its free high-resolution texture pack, allowing PC gamers to benefit from better visuals on systems with enough VRAM to handle it.

This texture pack pushes visuals of the PC version of Space Marine 2 to the next level, adding further detail to the popular shooter. While the visual gains of this free add-on are notable, they come at a cost. That cost is SSD capacity. With this texture pack installed, this game’s storage requirements rise from 75GB to 160 GB. That’s more than a 2x boost in this game’s storage requirements. This free add-on is available through Steam and the Epic Games Store as a free DLC. Thankfully, installing this add-on is optional. That means players can save SSD space if they are OK with this game’s standard textures.
