Resident Evil 6 is a massive action-adventure title that features four interwoven campaigns. While the full uncompressed game typically requires about 16 GB of disk space, high-compression versions are popular for those with limited data or storage. High-Compression Options
Repackers often use advanced compression to reduce the initial download size without sacrificing game content.
Repack Size: Highly compressed versions, such as those from FitGirl Repacks, can start from as low as 4.7 GB.
Features Included: These "full" versions typically include all DLCs and the latest patches (v1.10/1.06).
Trade-off: Installation takes longer (sometimes hours) because the PC must decompress the files back to their original size. PC System Requirements

A: A repack is simply a redistributed version. "Highly compressed" refers to the specific method used to shrink file size. All HC versions are repacks, but not all repacks are HC.
The compressed version unpacks assets on the fly. Set your Windows page file to at least 8 GB on the same drive as the game.
The original PC version of Resident Evil 6 clocks in at approximately 16 GB to 18 GB after installation. For gamers with limited bandwidth, slow internet, or older hard drives, that’s a massive download. Enter the highly compressed (HC) repack.
