The system has about 825 gigabytes available on its SSD. Of course, this doesn’t mean that players will have all 825 GB to use. Players will only have a maximum of 667 GB available to them and must buy a compatible NVMe SSD hard drive if they want more space. This isn’t possible for everyone, so it’s important to look at the biggest file sizes for PS5 games to see what players should prioritize.

Updated on May 17, 2022, by Chris Birsner: Since the PlayStation 5 was released in November 2020, plenty of games have been added to the library. A good handful of them are large triple-A titles from various developers that are inevitably going to eat away at the console’s storage space. The type of game may be a factor here as a good handful of the biggest PS5 game sizes are open-world releases, but there are also titles that just have so much content that they inflate the overall file size. For those who are wary of keeping their PS5 storage from being too stuffed, it is important to keep up on what games have the biggest impact on the system’s drive.

10 F1 2021 (109.5 GB)

In terms of PS5 game sizes, there is always an iterative sports title that makes the list as these tend to be packed with content. One of the biggest sports title on the PS5 right now, purely by file size, is F1 2021. The latest Codemasters title based on the popular racing circuit brings many of the things players have liked in the past and added some new features as well.

Among the new features is a new story experience called “Braking Point.” In addition, the game features two new modes that players can try. One is a career mode where two players can play together in. The other is a “Real Season-Start,” which puts players back in time to the start of the F1 season to see them crown a new champion. F1 2021 is 109.5 GB on PS5.

9 Call Of Duty: Vanguard (110.9 GB)

Despite not being the biggest Call of Duty game on the PS5, Call of Duty: Vanguard does require users to have a decent amount of space put aside for it on the console. It is the latest entry in the series and the first game from Sledgehammer Games since their last World War II title in 2017.

Much of the gameplay remains the same from previous entries in the franchise, but some new additions to the gameplay experience include being able to destroy walls and climb over objects instead of taking the normal paths. But what makes Call of Duty: Vanguard 110.9 GB is all the various modes in the game, from the normal campaign to multiplayer to the co-op Zombies mode.

8 Metro Exodus (121.7 GB)

Although it may not seem like the type of game that would take up a ton of space, Metro Exodus has a PS5 game size of 121.7 GB. While this is one of the biggest games on PS5, it may be worth downloading if players enjoy first-person shooters or games with a strong narrative.

Metro Exodus is the final chapter in a trilogy based on novels written by Dmitry Glukhovsky. The survival horror game has players exploring linear levels attempting to survive a world filled with creatures and humans who want to hurt the player.

7 Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut (122.4 GB)

With the release of the PS5, some of the greatest games from the previous generation were re-released on the newer console with enhanced graphics and some new content. One of these games released was Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut, an expanded version of the hit Sucker Punch game.

This version features all the content that was originally in the open-world experience, but it includes an entirely new side area called Iki Island. Other additions to the game include a full Japanese lip sync for players who want to be fully immersed in the game’s setting. Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cutcurrently sits at 122.4 GB needed.

6 Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (125 GB)

Speaking of open-world games, no company has embraced the genre harder than Ubisoft has. One of the biggest open-worlds the company has ever published comes in the latest entry of their biggest franchise: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

The game takes place in the 870s. Players take control of Eivor, a Viking who is setting up their England and who becomes involved in the rivalry between the Templar Order and the Assassin Brotherhood. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has a massive world with plenty of activities to take part in, which may be why the game needs 125 GB to install and enjoy.

5 The Elder Scrolls Online (153.9 GB)

Considering it is a genre that is meant to hook players for a ridiculous amount of hours, it is unsurprising that an MMORPG would be on a list of PS5 game sizes. What is surprising is that only one of these games made the list, which is The Elder Scrolls Online.

Initially released in 2014, this spin-off entry of a beloved Bethesda property puts players on the continent of Tamriel. It also has them experience storylines that have some ties to the worlds and characters that they interacted with in previous entries of the series. As of the time of this writing, The Elder Scrolls Online sits at 153.9 GB, but this will change with future updates.

4 Cyberpunk 2077 (158.7 GB)

While not living up to the level that many players thought the game was going to be, Cyberpunk 2077 did deliver a large world that takes up plenty of space on the PS5 drive at 158.7 GB. The latest game from CD Projekt Red, Cyberpunk 2077 takes place in a futuristic civilization set in the universe inspired by the tabletop role-playing game of a similar name.

The game is yet another open-world as there are various regions for the player to explore. While there is a main quest to focus on, there are various side activities that help keep the game interesting as well. Players are able to choose from a variety of different roles and approaches that can help tailor their experience into something unique to them.

3 Gran Turismo 7 (183.2 GB)

There have only been a handful of completely new games released by PlayStation Studios since the launch of the new console, but only Gran Turismo 7 makes the biggest PS5 game file size list. Once again developed by Polyphony Digital, the newest entry in the classic racing franchise brings a next-generation take on its celebration of vehicles.

Gran Turismo 7 brings back many of the features that made its previous entries so enticing, but it also includes a lot of upgrades such as ray-tracing and DualSense support that takes advantage of the controller’s technology. Those who want to dive into the game will need to have 183.2 GB free on their storage space.

2 Marvel’s Avengers (184.1 GB)

As a live service game, it is understandable that Marvel’s Avengers has a large file size given all the updates that have been brought to the game since its initial 2020 release. As of the game’s latest update, the game requires players to have 183.6 GB free on their device to be able to become their favorite Marvel superheroes.

Marvel’s Avengersis an action-adventure game that has a central campaign that can be played with more than one player. However, the content that has been added over the years included story expansions for Kate Bishop, Black Panther, Spider-Man, and more. Future updates may still be coming for those who own the game, so it’s good to have more space available.

1 Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War (225.3 GB)

Vanguard takes up a lot of space, but the largest Call of Duty game on the system is double the latest entry. Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War continued the trend from its predecessor, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, with ridiculously gigantic file sizes that will eat away at the PlayStation 5’s SSD.

This is likely due to the number of game modes the installment has, as well as taking into account the game’s upgraded graphics. The game currently clocks in at a whopping 225.3 GB minimum, which makes this the biggest game on PS5, even after many games have been released since then.
