Sony wants you to install 100MB and stream the other 99.9%. Only the game's code and its core assets download, about 100MB where an AAA game now takes 100GB. Textures, models and audio stream in while you play. A weak connection costs picture quality rather than lag. The filing says that 100MB could ship on a disc, and Sony has committed to nothing and named no game

Reported by Sony's Asset Streaming patent, published at WIPO on 4 February 2026. We are repeating their reporting rather than claiming it.

Would you buy a disc with 100MB of the game on it?
