What is the largest PS5 game?

The largest PS5 game in terms of file size is F1 2021, which takes up 113.1 GB of storage. Another large game is Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut, with a file size of 113.6 GB. These games have large file sizes due to their extensive content and enhanced graphics.

However, this is different from the free space required to play certain games. For example, the PS5 requires 325.8 GB of hard drive space to install Black Ops Cold War, which is a significant chunk. If you are only interested in multiplayer and Zombie games, you can free up around 60 GB of additional space by not downloading the single-player campaign.

The actual storage space available on a PS5 is about 667 GB. Thus, you may need to manage your storage carefully or consider expanding it with a compatible NVMe SSD hard drive to accommodate more games without removing older ones.

Conclusion

PlayStation has been in the game of releasing spectacular games for their fans, and they won’t stop now. They are ready to bring new games, spanning from action games to adventure games.

Games like The Prince of Persia, Alone in the Dark, and The Last of Us: Remastered, coming out in 2024 will certainly make for a good year ahead for PlayStation fans. So, gear up and get ready to create unforgettable memories with these must-play PS5 games of 2024.
