Today, the "Highly Compressed" versions—often shrunk from the original size down to a mere 4GB to 10GB—represent a solution for the data-conscious gamer. These versions utilize advanced compression algorithms (such as RIP or RePack methods) to strip away redundant files, non-essential languages, and high-definition cinematics, leaving the core gameplay intact.
