According to gamerant the announced file size seems to be part of a larger trend where games are getting bigger and bigger, as graphics improve and sandboxes are designed in such a way that the average player can get lost in them for days. Though BioWare has said that Mass Effect: Andromeda won't be an open-world game, the perspective of having an entirely new galaxy to explore would explain why the game will take up more than one-tenth of the regular Xbox One's hard drive.
