Warframe on Android? That game already takes up a shitload of disk space on a PC, how is anyone going to fit it on their phone?
Really? Looking online, it seems to be taking ~30GB, which isn’t much relatively speaking (considering modern AAA games these days can be 100+GB).
Phones nowadays come with 128GB as base option, and typically even offer a 256GB model (eg the Pixel 8). So Warframe shouldn’t really be an issue for mobile gamers who typically buy beefier phones than the average.
I thought it was like 60-80GB last I played, which was a couple of years ago.
The replies here from a few months ago suggest 26-36 GB.
50GB? I mean, I have the space, but I can see how phones with 64GB would have trouble. Especially with Android’s ever expanding behavior.

Most space used by games is taken up by textures and audio. Textures can be downsampled (every time you halve texture resolution you quarter the file size) and audio can be resampled at a lower bitrate without the quality drop being too noticeable on tiny phone screens/speakers.
