PS5 exclusive file sizes revealed: Demon's Souls and Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition

If you're wondering about the practicality of the PS5's relatively small 825GB SSD, we'll try to answer that question indirectly right now.

Today, the first details regarding the file sizes of some exclusive games developed specifically for Sony's next-gen console have emerged.

The Demon’s Souls remake for PlayStation 5 will take up a perfectly acceptable 66GB, but the Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition remaster will demand a whopping 105GB of free space on the SSD. It's worth clarifying that the PlayStation 5 version of Marvel's Spider-Man includes the fully updated original 2018 game, complete with refreshed textures and 3D models. As a standalone title, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales will only require 50GB of free SSD space.

Combined, these two games alone will occupy a substantial 220GB. And frankly, calling Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition "next-gen" feels like a stretch, implying that truly cutting-edge projects with advanced graphics, physics, and seamless loading like Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart could easily exceed 150GB (at best).

Of course, Sony has accounted for PS5's expandable storage, allowing for an additional NVMe M.2 drive or USB external hard drives from PS4. However, the question of whether "next-gen exclusives" will function properly on older HDDs remains unanswered.
