We know the specs on paper: the PS5 has a 825GB SSD, while the Xbox Series 10 has a 1TB one. We also know that no visitor reports usable space – it's why your 64GB iPhone 11 only has around 56.5GB of space to play with after iOS is taken into consideration.

Its already been revealed that the Xbox Series Ten has 802GB of usable space, and now thanks to a leak via the ResetEra forums, we accept a figure to put on the PS5: 664GB.

  • Check the latest PS5 pre-order stock
  • Plus: Is this the PS5 startup screen?

Assuming the blue icon means 'applications' as it does on PS4, it'southward also hinted that the bundled Astro's Playroom game is only 2.38GB in size – although the people taking the screenshot could have installed annihilation in the meantime.

Earlier we get any further: a alert. This is a screenshot posted on a forum and could accept come from anywhere. There'south no guarantee it's real, though given PS5 devkits have been available for some fourth dimension, and the Os size seems plausible plenty, we're inclined to give it the benefit of the doubt. Still, nosotros won't know for certain until review units are in our hands (or at to the lowest degree until Sony approved specifications surface).

Okay, then assuming it's accurate and the PS5 comes with 664GB usable storage: is it enough? Well, that probably depends on how yous intend to utilize it. If our theory about Astro'south Playroom weighing in at 2.38GB is correct, then it just proves that not all PS5 games have to accept upwardly 50-100 gigabytes at a fourth dimension.

On the other hand, it's pretty obvious that plenty do. In terms of launch titles alone, we know that the Demon'south Souls remake will weigh in at 66GB, while those looking for the full Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Launch Edition experience will need to set bated 105GB.

Yes, both Xbox Serial Ten and PS5 games volition permit you pick and choose which $.25 to install, but that can only save and then much space – and fifty-fifty the biggest PS4 games with comparatively smaller graphical assets are tipping the scales at seventy-175GB of storage. Fancy new compression engineering may take the edge off that to some degree, but it's yet pretty clear that software installation footprints are going in one management.

If by consoles have taught us anything, it'due south that the quantity of launch storage e'er proves to be inadequate in the finish. The Xbox 360 arrived with a 20GB hard bulldoze, and by the end of the generation, models with 250GB drives were bachelor. Also, the original PS4 came with 500GB of storage, but newer models come with 1TB.

You lot'd imagine that, as SSD prices come down, Microsoft and Sony volition adapt with newer models of the Serial 10 and PS5. Early adopters may want to leap for an external storage bulldoze for the PS5.
