Its more then what the PS4 launched with so I'll survive. We are all used to the battle of hard drive space by now unfortunately.
Demon's Souls Remake and Spider-Man: Miles Morales minimum file size revealed
- Thread starter SoulsHunt
- Start date
If OS reserve stays about the same for PS5 from PS4, then usable space would be about 715 GB
Lol. Just saying that the 825 GB isn't all useable.
True. It's not that big a deal.
Xbox Series S will need less space due to using lower assets. Microsoft says about 30% less than Xbox Series X games average.
Yes, no duplicated assets needed. But we are now getting more games with 4K assets. Developers save space and space increases at the same time.
Do we know how much usable space the Series S has yet? I wonder if there'll be anything this gen that literally can't be played on a Series S because it's too big for the hard drive :P
Nobody told you games were going to be smaller than current gen. I'd bet you were told games won't get much bigger compared to current gen. And that's exactly what we are seeing considering the increase in asset quality.
Digital Foundry quotes Mark Cerny.
Destiny 2 is 160~GB on the PS4 at the moment, I think. Will get even bigger with the next content update.
I don't remember that being the rhetoric when they were talking about getting rid of duplication, but I didn't buy it when it was being thrown around originally either.
Series S games won't balloon in size bc they'll be designed for SSD and not using 4K textures and stuff, plenty may actually be smaller in size than what you currently get on Xbox One X
whoever was throwing around that rhetoric either didn't know what they were talking about or not considering higher quality assets taking up more space. no one ever officially promised smaller game file sizes next gen
376 GB if OS partition sizes remain the same from XB1 > XSS
These are the first two games for the PS5, Miles Morales was developed with PS4 in mind and Demon's Souls dev also likely started long time ago. It's understandable games won't take full advantage of the SSD yet and will be about the same size as current generation.
That was my bad. I read an article from an Aussie gaming site this morning about not buying HDD's and they said it was unclear if you could transfer PS5 games to a HDD so I was unaware that you actually could do that (I knew you couldn't play them from that HDD).
Hmmm considering they're proper 4K assets, Demon's Souls at 66GB and Miles Morales at 50GB doesn't seem too bad. At least not as bad as I was expecting.
My main worry though is what's going on with the 3rd party games such as CoD and Destiny... those already take up gnarly amounts of space.

GT Sport is pretty huge right now, too.
But yea, games on SSD get smaller, but nextgen assets get bigger, so size is about the same.
Oh yeah I forgot they're doing the whole content vault thing.... not a fan of that move but it makes sense.
Yeah I mean I have had literally no problems on ps4 500 gb. Storage isn't huge to me because it's a second console, maybe tertiary device even behind pc
With all dlc and patches it's 69.1GB
So on PS5 with new assets they still shaved off about 9 GB but I also don't think those numbers on PS5 are accurate yet.
I wonder if Miles have the PS4 versions duplicate files. Demon's Souls is the only PS5 only game, and 50gigs for a 4k game is pretty nice. Miles with the Spider-Man remaster likely has the old way of games made for HDD in it's file layout, though maybe they don't, Miles at the least. This could be one of many ways they built Miles for PS5 by not having file duplication in it.
They are both rated at the same speed. USB-C might have power delivery though. Perfect for PSVR2
What rhetoric are you referring to? I don't recall any that says games were going to be smaller than current Gen.
you still need to install the game from your disc to the ssd to play it
Oh, that's good news. And yeah I was thinking one of the reasons for the USB-C on the front might have to do with PSVR2.
Day 1 for MM and DS will take up around 13% of the HDD space
add some cross gen games and that gets up to 25%
probably be 2-3 years before I think I'll need to expand (where it gets annoying deleting games)
No biggie honestly

We're 7 years into current Gen and next generation consoles are about to launch and people still don't know this. Lol
Killzone Shadowfall, a launch PS4 game, was 38GB
An increase from 38GB to 50GB is actually pretty decent all things considered.
According to IGN, the PS4 actually had ~407GB of usable storage, so Killzone took up 9.4% of that.
Assuming ~100GB off the PS5 SSD, Miles Morales at 50GB would be 6.9% of usable space.
Killzone Shadow Fall™
Online servers for Killzone Shadow Fall including Intercept Mode will shut down on 12th August 2022. All online features for this game including online multiplayer modes will cease on that date. You will still be able to play and enjoy this game in single player offline modes. However, from 12th...

It's still a lot quicker for me to install 100GB from a disc and then download a 10GB patch than it is to download 100GB. That's the difference between me playing the day I buy a game or needing to download it for a couple of days.
I know! It's just quicker to delete installed files and reinstalling from discs than downloading them at my current internet speed.
I'm fairly sure they mentioned more flexibility on installs next-gen, so beat the single-player, delete it, keep the multiplayer.
Probably won't be possible for every game type, but it should help for certain genres.

I think It's going to be a 10-12 hour game
that used to be "normal" In the ps360 era lol
Uhm, what Cerny and co said was true, because you are saving space without duplicated assets. However a game like Spiderman didn't have 4K assets and this changes on PS5.
No. There is no reason to duplicate assets iirc.
Nothing is approved currently.
He meant both and it's true. The issue at hand is that PS4/Pro didn't have high quality 4K textures, while PS5 has those. If you own a Xbox One X you know some games were bigger on this console, because it had more usable RAM than all other consoles and some developers put their 4K textures in the port.
I see, but can't you just store it on a normal external drive and transfer it back to the ssd when needed if that's the case?
I googled around and I guess I remember it wrong. I specifically remember thinking "lol no one is going to make smaller games"
On HDD developers had to duplicate assets to counter the huge seek times. This isn't necessary on any SSD. Thus devs save lots of space. However better textures for example increase the space needed. So we basically end up with similar sizes.
Yup, heck that's still normal for games like Control, Quantum Break, Infamous etc.
it's definitely been repeated by people on this forum a lot so you've seen it before, just not from anyone at Sony
Probably, but it'll be packed with challenges and stuff like the first game I bet, so maybe more like a 20-30 hour game to platinum. I welcome a more concise experience than Spider-Man PS4, its length was my biggest issue with it.
