How much space do I need?
Plan for around 212 GB of free storage. A base PS5 has roughly 667 GB usable, so most players will need to delete a couple of games first.
Physical copies still require the full download, so buying a disc won't save space.
Tips for a faster download
Use a wired connection if you can. Wi-Fi often halves your real speed.
Leave the console in rest mode with internet enabled overnight so the download continues.
Don't play other online games during the download: it competes for bandwidth.
