After almost 10 years of waiting, fans can finally get their hands on "Final Fantasy XV" on Nov. 29. Before the game arrives on Tuesday, players should make sure that they have enough space on their console's hard drives as the game is going to be big.

According to Dual Shockers, the file size of the game's PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions are reportedly close to 51 GB. On the PlayStation 4, another 6.6 GB of space is required before one can even start playing the game.

In the US and EU PlayStation Stores, the upcoming game is at 40.58 GB, while the Xbox Marketplace listed it at 51.82 GB However, it fails to mention any information regarding the day one patch, called the "Crown" update, nor did it mention its file size. The patch is said to include several updates, bug fixes, and features for a better gameplay experience.

"Final Fantasy XV' is already confirmed to make use of the dynamic resolution scaling to provide at least 30 FPS. It has also been mentioned earlier that the game will render between 900 and 1080 pixels on the PlayStation 4, while it will be between 765 and 900 pixels on the Xbox One. The PlayStation 4 Pro will display the game at 4K resolution with 30 FPS or at 1080p with between 45 and 60 FPS with an unlocked framerate. These are all according to Square Enix, the game developer, as previously reported by WCCFTech.

Players would probably complain about the tremendous space needed for the game, but it is still considered to be normal. The "Battlefield" and "Destiny" bundles take nearly 75 GB of space. Even the older "Diablo III: Reaper of Souls – Ultimate Evil Edition" is already at 60 GB.

"Final Fantasy XV" will be released on Tuesday, Nov. 29, for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
