So I got my PS5 yesterday and went on a bit of a mad spending splurge but I keep getting messages saying that there isn't enough storage to install all the games (I think I've solved it though by buying an external 5TB HDD not SSD that is compatible with the PS5 so hopefully the console will just let me save and install from that)
Could someone please tell me if all the games I have installed take me over that 2TB limit:
Resident Evil Village
Hades
Clair Obscur
Returnal
The Last Of Us Part II
Assassin's Creed Shadows
Far Cry 6
Astro Bot
Super Stardust Portable
Patapon 3
Dead Space
Baldur's Gate 3
and am currently downloading God Of War Ragnarok.
Iv'e been told that if you have multiple downloads queued that it can cause problems with the PS5's storage system and they were all queued with me so maybe that is causing a problem or am I just being too greedy!
That's a lot of games. Go to your home screen then settings (the cog between the magnifying glass and your PSN avatar) then Storage, Console Storage, Games and Apps. It will show the size of each game. You'll also see a bar that shows your used/available space. I've never seen anyone install that many at once, I don't know that you're being too greedy, more a case that you are stressing the consoles limits. The console still needs room to download and install even when a user thinks they have memory left, you risk running into performance issues, crashes and updates failing to install if you don't give the machine/your hard drive some breathing room.
These violent delights have violent ends & in their triumph die, like fire & powder Which, as they kiss, consume.
That list shouldn’t be anywhere near 2TB, probably 1TB would be my guess.
As for problems having multiple games queued up to download, I haven’t heard of any such issues and I would be surprised if there was any substance in that rumour as a download won’t start until the previous download had finished. But that is just my two cents.
Enjoy your new machine, a great list of games you have there.
