Xbox Live Arcade Game Size Limit Raised To 350MB
2008-05-20 23:08:00 Xbox Live Arcade's worldwide games portfolio planner David Edery revealed that the size limit imposed upon XBLA titles has been raised from 150MB to 350MB, according to a recent interview with GamesIndustry.biz.Q: And you're upping the size of Xbox Live Arcade games as well to 350 megabytes? David Edery: Yeah, it's a steady progress. We've been listening to our partners, listening to our customers to try and get a feel for what's right. We don't want the size limit to hit the roof because we think there's some value in promoting small pick and play experiences that don't cost USD 20 million, it's good for the ecosystem. Obviously, this should please those developers looking for more space for their titles, but those gamers stuck with the Xbox 360's default 20GB hard drive might not be so pleased about the $180 hard drive upgrade they may need very soon.

A year ago, Microsoft released a 512 MB Memory Unit, which paved the way for the Xbox Live Arcade game limit to grow to 150 MB. A 256 MB Memory Unit is now standard issue on all HDD-less Xbox 360 consoles.Even with the current Xbox Live Arcade limit three times what it used to be, some developers are finding 150MB simply not enough to fit in all game assets, particularly those intended for 1080p resolutions.In particular, Capcom’s two upcoming re-imaginings of classic games Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix and Bionic Commando Rearmed were unable to fit inside 150 MB without sacrificing graphical fidelity.
