God of War Ragnarok takes up a lot of storage space on PS5 as its file size has been revealed. Even though it’s a cross-generation game, God of War Ragnarok comes with unique PS5 features such as support of 4k resolution, haptic feedback, and 3D audio.
The file size for the PS4 version of God of War Ragnarok was revealed last month. The game will take up over 90 GB of space on the console, significantly larger than the size of the previous game. 2018’s God of War needed around 45 GB of storage, making Ragnarok twice as large in terms of file size. It looks like fans will need to save an equally massive amount of space for the PS5 version of God of War Ragnarok.
PlayStation Game Size on Twitter reveals that God of War Ragnarok will take up 84 GB of storage on a PS5 console. It will take 106.9 GB on PS4, over 20 GB more than its PS5 counterpart. These numbers are for the US edition of the game, with the EU version having a different total size. God of War Ragnarok will up a massive 118.519 GB on PS4 for players in the EU, with the PS5 version needing 90-100 GB of space. Finally, PlayStation Game Size confirms that players can start preloading God of War Ragnarok on November 2.
This account usually reveals the file sizes of upcoming PlayStation games shortly before their release date. As a more recent example, it confirmed that Gotham Knights will need 41.030 GB of space on PS5, significantly less than that of God of War Ragnarok. Gotham Knights’ storage requirement looks a bit smaller than other AAA games coming out these days, but it’s well in line when compared to most AAA games from the previous generation of consoles.
Santa Monica Studio recently confirmed that God of War Ragnarok has gone gold. This means that the game is ready for mass production, although fans can expect a day 1 patch when it comes out. These updates are usually released for fixing bugs and other optimization purposes in order to ensure a smooth experience for players buying the game on launch day.
Sony is celebrating God of War Ragnarok’s launch by releasing a series of behind-the-scenes videos that share a deep dive into the making of the game. The first episode of this series is called Shaping the Story and gives fans a brief introduction to the original game’s plot before setting up the sequel.
God of War Ragnarok releases on November 9 for PS4 and PS5.
