With the Size Modern AAA games come in, is it possible that you could mod a game into being Smaller?
You can already do the very basic version of that by using Compactor. Essentially it uses Windows 10's compression algorithms to make your games smaller. A lot of variance between games based on what their files consist of, but I generally get ~25% more space on my drives. Of course, a single update to the game might mean that you have to pack them again, but it's still a pretty good upside with practically no performance loss.

A message from GSC Game World team!
ARK practically needs its own 500GB SSD, specially if you start installing mods on top of having all of the DLCs. However, it's possible to bring down its size massively if you use this software, it works exceptionally well in ARK, being able to reduce it to about half its size. For example, my ARK installation went from like 320 GB to 175 I believe, which is still huge, but only about as much as any modern AAA game.

You can chuck compact.exe at it by hand (use the /exe option), or if you'd prefer to avoid the command line there's my Compactor tool, or the venerable CompactGUI.

Time to upgrade
They actually don't compress it. Using a simple compressor like this one for instance, the size decreases by half, if not a bit more than it. Tested it with the base game and it went from 200GB to 100GB.

I should press on and finish my Compactor rewrite, I guess.

what are some software's that should be noted?
7zip, microsoft powertoys (useful utilities n stuff), hyper-v (VM stuff), OBS, optimizer (https://github.com/hellzerg/optimizer) (privacy stuff + system tweaks), compactor (https://github.com/Freaky/Compactor) (uses windows compact.exe and provides a GUI for a otherwise cmd based tool) also qbittorrent

Is there a way to save space of ark?

400GB? Seriously? 25+ hours worth of waiting just to play it? Why is ark like this?
Also, check out CompactGUI. It's a more user-friendly and efficient way of using Windows' built-in compression to cut the game's file size almost in half. It makes load times marginally longer (like 5-10%) and needs to be redone every few updates to keep the size down, but it works.

You can also just use compactGui smaller filesizes without having to remove dialogs or cutscenes or anything. Obviously how much space is regained depends on how well it was compressed originally. With triple A titles perhaps getting 10% back, while things like ark can literally be shrunk by hundreds of gigs.
- Can we talk about client size? We are approaching 50GB!
- PSA: Use CompactGUI to reduce the the game's file size without any performance hit. I reduced the size from 81 GB to 56 GB.

For me ARK is 190GB but for my friend it is 160GB
Not really related to your question but if you want to try and save some space you can give this a go, I've used it before and never had any issues. https://github.com/IridiumIO/CompactGUI
