Fergal Gara, the executive in charge of the PlayStation division for Sony in the United Kingdom, says that the download file for the new Killzone: Shadow Fall weighs in at 50 GB for those who plan to download it on the PS4.

He tells Eurogamer that, "The Play as you Download functionality, for example, means you don’t need the whole file before you go. This is a little bit counterbalanced by the fact the files themselves are getting bloody big. Killzone: Shadow Fall is an uber file–I think it’s cracking on for 50GB."

Sony wants to offer all games on its next-gen console via the PlayStation Network on the same day when they are available at retail.

Shadow Fall is a shooter that's specifically designed to showcase the capabilities of the PlayStation 4.

It will be available on the same day as the console, on November 15 in the United States and on November 29 in Europe.
