The original games are about 4 GB each. Together they should be around 8 GB.

What the fuck is the rest of the size used for!?

My guess 4K textures or the 720p switch ๐Ÿคฃ

1080p (docked). So you'd plan for 1080p.

But you're actually probably at least partly right. I'm sure they've done at least some upscaling and stored at a higher res which may actually take up more space.
