It’s one of the most eagerly anticipated gaming consoles of 2020, but if you’re thinking of buying the PlayStation 5, you might want to invest in a large external hard-drive.
The PlayStation 5 itself has 825GB SSD of storage, according to Sony.
However, Sony has started to display some game install sizes for the PS5, and it suggests your drive could fill up very quickly.
The pre-order page for Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Launch Edition includes a disclaimer that it will take up ‘105 GB minimum’.
Meanwhile, the Demon’s Souls pre-order page indicates that the game will come in at '66 GB minimum.’
Unfortunately, those are the only PS5 install sizes announced so far.
However, these two games alone would take up at least 20% of your base SSD space, meaning you may not be able to install many games at once.
The official release date is November 12, with fans in the US, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand South Korea able to get their hands on the console on that date.
However, it’s not good news for British PlayStation fans, who will have to wait another week to buy the PS5.
The official UK release date is November 19.
In terms of pricing, the PlayStation 5 is priced at £449.99/ $499.99 / AU$749.95, and the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition is slightly cheaper at $399.99 / £359.99 / AU$749.95.
