Sony has revealed the install sizes of some PlayStation 5 games.
Insomniac’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales requires at least 50GB. According to the PlayStation website.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Launch Edition with a Spider-Man PS4 remastering is more than double. At least 105 GB in weight.
And the flashy evil spirit requires a minimum of 66GB.
(Sony has yet to reveal the install size of Destruction Allstars or Sackboy: A Big Adventure.)

It’s worth bearing in mind that the PS5 comes with a custom 825GB SSD at launch. That means Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Launch Edition accounts for less than 13% of the PS5’s SSDs.
In addition, PS5 allows you to install specific parts of the game, reducing the total space. Just play Spider-Man: Miles Morales, for example, and you probably don’t need a Spider-Man PS4 remaster on your SSD.
Sure, you’d expect to cut a hole in your wallet that supports the console’s 5.5GB / s read bandwidth (Raw) console bandwidth specification, but you can expand the PS5’s internal storage with SSDs ready to go use. Here Digital Foundry Richard Leadbetter giving advice in March:
“… Expandable storage is possible and you don’t need a Sony proprietary disk drive to get the extra space you want. But the advice is simple, at least in the short term. Don’t buy an NVMe drive without Sony certification. You want to use it on your PS5. Also remember that extreme bandwidth PCIe 4.0 NVMe drives can be very expensive, at least in the short term, this is cutting edge technology after all. Obviously, the outlook should improve, notably as the next generation evolves, and the price is on time. It tends to go down significantly over time. “
These install sizes don’t seem bad compared to some of the larger install sizes we’ve seen this generation (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is looking at it), sticking to the PS5’s internal storage can fill up quickly.
The console comparison is as follows: the Xbox Series X comes with a custom 1TB NVMe SSD for internal storage, and the Xbox Series S comes with a 512GB custom NVMe SSD.
