How 2 reduce game size of Horizon Zero Dawn.

Like many other games HZD will install language-pack files of ALL supported languages.

By following these simple steps u can free 14+ GB of disc space.


1.
Open the game folder of HZD
...Steam\steamapps\common\Horizon Zero Dawn\

2.
Open the Packed_DX12-folder

Here u will find many bin-files.
These r the language-pack files.
Example (English language-pack files):
DLC1_English.bin,
Initial_English.bin,
Remainder_English.bin

Each language-pack consists of 3 files.

IMPORTANT:
DLC1.bin, Initial.bin, Remainder.bin, FGRWin32.bin & Patch.bin r crucial game-files.
If u delete these files when u proceed with step 4, the game will not run anymore.

4.
Delete all the other language-pack files.


U can delete 31 files & free 14+ GB of disk space.
In the end, there should only be 8 bin-files in the Packed_DX12 folder.


IMPORTANT:
If u verify the game-cache the files will be restored
Future updates may also restore these files.
(According 2 Laptop in the comments, v1.11 seems 2 have restored the language pack files.)

Update v1.01 - 1.10 did NOT restore the files.
