It’s looking likely you’ll need one of the best SSD for PS5 for Jedi Survivor if you want to download the full game onto your console.
The file size of Jedi Survivor has been the talk of the town, and it’s looking like the game requires a 155GB SSD just to download it. To put that into perspective, that’s almost triple of 2019’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order’s 55GB requirement. Regardless of whether you’re playing on PS5 or PC, 155GB is bound to make a big dent in your SSD storage.
Nowadays we’re used to big titles coming with big file sizes, but it doesn’t take the sting out of the 147GB of storage you’ll need to fully download the game to your console. You might end up still needing one even if you buy the disk since the news came in that Jedi Survivor physical copies require a download.
An SSD, or solid-state drive, is the best way to expand the storage capabilities of your PS5. While they are more expensive per gigabyte than the alternative technology, an HDD, this is for good reason. An SSD is smaller and also far faster. This means shorter wait times and increased performance.
We’re hoping this huge file size is put to good use, with detailed textures and an expansive universe with plenty of unique characters. However, judging by the news that PC optimisation issues mean you’ll need one of the best CPUs for Jedi Survivor, it’s also possible that the game suffers from poor compression.
If you’re going to get one for Jedi Survivor, you may as well get one of the best PS5 SSDs. We’ve also provided our choice of the best SSD for Jedi Survivor below.
