To be fair to Ark, it has 9 massive maps, and with the exception of the main one, you can install only the ones you want to play on.
Data points in the range of Gigabytes (uncompressed), the rest is unoptimized textures and models, duplications and other bullshit. Bet you could get 10 or so fps more, if they invested a few days for optimzations.

Heh, a single bit
