Update: Pearl Abyss has confirmed that the game requires an internet connection for initial setup (day 1 patch). Once installation is complete, the game can be enjoyed offline. However, an internet connection will be required every time they release a patch, the game will not run otherwise...
Do you think maybe it’s because people are already receiving their physical edition prior to the release date?
Wut?
People have been getting the physical copy already, and as I understand it, the download along with patches is an unlock for the game.
48gb worth seems like a lot for just an update
That’s a fair point.
