It looks like were never going to see an arcade game that is bigger than 2 GB. Arcade games are usually small anyways so this should not be a problem.
While the artificial size constraint on Xbox Live Arcade titles has been steadily increased since the platform's launch, Microsoft now tells Shacknews that no Xbox Live Arcade game can exceed 2GB in size due to technical limitations. The current "limit" stands at 350MB, but several Arcade games already exceed that boundary, including Portal: Still Alive (629MB) and Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (368MB).
"Our technical constraint is 2GB," said Microsoft director of digital distribution Scott Austin. "If there's a quality reason to go over 350MB, [then we will]." The original limit was set at 50MB at the console's launch, and then increased from 150MB to 350MB last year.
Chair's upcoming action-platformer Shadow Complex, announced last week at E3, is expected to weigh in around 800-900MB, according to studio creative director Donald Mustard.
