Capcom's Pragmata Uses Less Than Half the SSD Space as Resident Evil Requiem on PS5

With storage space a potential headache when it comes to modern gaming, it's always nice to know how much of it any upcoming titles are going to eat up when you install them on your PS5.

Obviously, some games are ridiculous, in some extreme cases taking up well over 100 GB. That's not ideal when Sony's console comes with about 825 GB by default. Obviously you can install a larger capacity SSD, but still.

Fortunately, not all major games are made equal, and the upcoming Pragmata from Capcom is a good example.

As revealed by the ever-vigilant PlayStation Game Size on X, the sci-fi hack-n'-shoot action game comes in at about 33.5 GB, which is much easier to stomach:

For comparison's sake, Pragmata's size is less than half that of its stablemate, Resident Evil Requiem, which weighs in at just over 74 GB.

It's difficult to know exactly why the upcoming shooter takes up less room on your PS5, but it could come down to decent optimisation on Capcom's part — and it may just be a game of somewhat smaller scope than Requiem.

Whatever the case, it'll be taking up a relatively modest amount of SSD space, which is always nice.

Oh, and PlayStation Game Size's post also confirms that you can pre-load the game starting on 15th April, a couple of days before the official launch.

Pragmata is a sci-fi shooter about a moon base that's been overrun by a rogue AI. You need to unravel exactly what's happened, and you're aided throughout by Diana, a child-like android who is able to hack into hostile robots and leave them vulnerable to gunfire.

It's been a long time coming, but the game will finally be available on PS5 next week. Are you excited for it? Tell us in the comments section below.
