BDXL goes up to 128GB... Conveniently... According to everywhere I look... Starfield is 126.1GB for XBOX...
So yes... Discs do have the capacity and you're wrong.
Further, you can simply use compression, and unpack to the internal SSD. That can probably net you a bunch more space... and then you can move to 2-disc operations if your game is even larger than that.
I guess I haven't been keeping up to date with the latest compact disc technology. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't think many people do so I won't blame you for not knowing. I happen to know because I use something called m-disc for archival purposes. And those are just really fancy blu-rays at this point. The discs I use are 100GB and i knew there were bigger ones.
Cool stuff. I'll probably get into that in the future, only so many external drives one can have lying around.
