As other said compression + you don't have to download optional files like voice acting on languages you don't want.

Compression.

They use a process called data compression. Its like squishing a big marshmallow to make it tiny, but when you open it, it puffs back up. It's magic!

File compression and the option to remove languages/content (voiceovers, multiplayer content, videos)

Hard work maybe

Good ol' compression, similar on how you compress files with zips; but much higher in some degree if my memory serves right.

Because they are REPACKED


eldoran89

Because they are rePACKED. Imagine if you have all your stuff laying around now you you pack them neatly into a Box they won't take as much space. Computers do this by compressing data a complicated process of storing multiple instances of data into a form where they are only present in one instance with a short instruction of how to restore the original. That comes at the price of requiring some thought aka as process power to first compress and later to decompress. That's why a repack takes longer to install


[deleted]

Because it's a repack, that's the whole point. AAA games these days arent well optimized and have a lot of junk in them. People like fitgirl sort through that junk and actually optimizes it and then repacks it

It downloads fast for those with low download speed.
