Despite the PlayStation 5 boasting the Kraken compression software that can shrink game file sizes down to something more manageable for the system, a lot of the games launched on the system wind up hitting the 100 GB milestone anyway.
An average PS5 has around 667 GB of storage space allotted for game files and that roughly lets you keep around ten to 15 games. That’s tough to work with since most people prefer to not download a game they like all over again just to clear up enough space for the new big launch on the store. An accurate list of PS5 game file sizes can help you circumnavigate all the mental gymnastics beforehand.
10 The Elder Scrolls Online - 89 GB
Although The Elder Scrolls Online has been out for quite a while now, the game still offers you the chance to explore all sorts of locations and interact with a multitude of enemies at several different stunning locations.
The game features more or less the same assets you’d find in the PS4 version, but in 4k, hence the larger file size. It’s an exploration-heavy game that lets you leave messages and call on other players in order to take out hard bosses.
9 Gran Turismo 7 - 89 GB
Gran Turismo is an old series, and the seventh installment features some of the most gripping environments and textures the series has showcased thus far. The cars gleam in the sunlight and the colors pop out fairly well.
It’s a racing game, so you can expect a ton of cars to get featured with their own unique quirks and stats. That definitely contributes to how much space this video game eats up on your console. Although, the single-player campaign isn’t as fun as the multiplayer mode.
8 Final Fantasy 16 - 90.1 GB
The Final Fantasy series has been delivering video games with console-pushing graphics for quite a while now and this addition to the series is no exception to that rule. This action RPG isn’t turn-based though, but it compensates for that by providing you with a rich, detailed world to explore and get familiar with.
Be that as it may, the lack of diversity when it comes to character designs, and the linear level designs for most areas, leaves a lot to be desired for most fans of this story-driven series.
7 Sniper Elite 5 - 91.4GB
For a game heavily focused on stealth and tactical shooting, Sniper Elite 5 features a whole host of gorgeous settings and graphics that most likely take up a lot of the PS5’s disk space, and rightfully so.
The more realistic a sniper simulator is, the better. The single-player campaign is about 12 hours long, and there’s a multiplayer and co-op mode to keep you engaged once you’re done playing the story. It’s a gameplay experience similar to what the Hitman series has to offer but set during World War 2.
6 Far Cry 6 - 101 GB
The Far Cry series has been serving up some rather interesting stories to the fans over the years and Far Cry 6 pulls out everything in the devs’ arsenal to keep you at the edge of your seat.
The large open-world island map and tons of weapons to play with make it a must-have video game from the series. There are tons of enemies to engage with, a lot of vehicles you’re able to drive, and realistic settings that are definitely graphically demanding.
5 Horizon Forbidden West - 101 GB
A blend of wild west gun-slinging and future technology, Horizon Forbidden West is a cinematic experience that features complex characters and an in-depth story campaign that’s not only engrossing but also fun to play.
The video game features a stunning open-world map to explore with a terrain filled with cybernetically enhanced enemies that include robo dinosaurs. It’s a big game that will take you more than 30 hours to end up finishing too.
4 Destiny 2 - 139 GB
First launched back in 2017, Destiny 2 has been surprisingly consistent with its updates and still boasts a rather substantial chunk of fans who are still dedicated to this entry to the series. Since the video game’s been around for so long, it’s got enough content to warrant its rather large file size.
It’s a fast-paced first-person shooter with MMO capabilities, so it still keeps things fresh even for long-time players. You get tons of options to customize your character and even your guns.
3 Star Wars Jedi: Survivor - 148 GB
Get ready to get blown away to a distant star in a galaxy far far away as you enter the world presented in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. This action-adventure RPG is a true escape from reality since it features captivating landscapes and believable stories that pull you away from the real world.
The video game features a whole host of collectibles to spend your time looking for, a complex and long storyline, and several maze-like maps to navigate through, all while everything looks absolutely stunning.
2 NBA 2K23 - 153 GB
The main reason why any sports-based video game comes with a rather large download package is due to the fact that it usually features a large roster of players from the real world and realistic graphics that are meant to immerse you into the experience.
NBA 2K23 does all of that and more, with each player on any roster showing off their own quirks and stunning basketball courts for every mode you choose to play through.
1 Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War - 175 GB
Ask any Call of Duty fan about it and they’ll tell you, the video games are usually some of the largest on any console’s catalog. Sure, there might be tons of weapon skins to go through, and some iconic characters with fun costumes to select from, but the main thing that eats up all of your memory is the game modes at your disposal.
Despite not playing some of them, you’ll still have to bear through having them on board if you wish to install the base game. You can also expect an additional 29 GB to install if you wish to play certain game modes in high resolution.
