My guess is that the PS4 for whatever reason ties the update file to the actual game file size (based on how the Driveclub patches were downloaded, it didn't download from zero to the patch size amount, it started from the old game file size and added on to it, that is the only game I've seen do it though so idk if there's a connection to be found or not) and since most games are 20GB at the very least these days (indie titles are the exception), it's a bad combination unless you have the 1TB version or/and have updated the hardrive on your own.Why does a 4 GB game update require me to clear out my storage past 20 GBs free? I had to delete a whole 40 GB game and only then would it let me download the update sitting at 60 GB free
PS3 was (and still is I guess, don't see why they would've bothered to change it at this point) that you needed the room to download and install a game/patch, so you always needed double the room of the download size.
