While the download size might make many PS4 gamers happy, one needs to remember there will very likely be a Day 1 update for the game.

This could increase the download size significantly. At the time of writing, Naughty Dog has not confirmed Day 1 update plans. Keep in mind things might also change before the game's 19th June release date.

Even at 78 GB or more, The Last of Us Part II will definitely be worth the download. Why do we make such a statement? Well, see for yourself in the extended gameplay video below.
