Upgrade your PS5 Slim internal storage with Kingston FURY SSD

AAA game sizes vs internal storage sizes

Newer game consoles boast larger internal storage capacities. For example, the original PlayStation 5 base model has 825GB of internal storage. However, only 667GB can be used for games due to the significant storage space taken up by the operating system (OS) and system files. With the introduction of the new slim version, PlayStation has expanded the internal storage capacity to a complete 1TB. The upgrade is a response to the growing demand for more storage due to the increasing size of video games. Nevertheless, a significant amount of space will still be reserved for the console’s software and system files. And as games continue to get bigger; this limited storage space becomes ever more contested real estate.

Nowhere is this so apparent as with ‘AAA’ titles, which are flagship games that are created and distributed by top developers in the industry. There are several reasons why the sizes of these games continue to increase in size, including higher quality graphics/textures, advanced audio, complex game worlds, post-launch content (DLC), and more.

To accommodate these games, we recommend upgrading your internal storage to facilitate the large file sizes of the biggest titles, such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, CyberPunk 2077, Spider-Man 2 and more, which frequently take up 100GB or more of SSD space.

The importance of upgrading internal storage

Although the initial storage capacities within the console have not kept pace exactly with the significant growth of game sizes over the years, Sony has made provisions for upgrading the internal storage of the PS5 Slim! Luckily for console gamers, the installation process of a new M.2 SSD is very straightforward and almost identical to the original PlayStation 5.

With Kingston FURY Renegade M.2 SSD heatsink, you can expand your internal storage capacity by up to 4TB, giving you plenty of space to install all your favourite game titles on your system without the need to uninstall games in your library to make room for something new. And for those older games that you want to keep but not play right now, you can offload them to an external SSD.

As you continue to install games on your PlayStation, the initial storage capacity that comes with the PS5 – and its slimmer counterpart – won’t be enough to store multiple AAA titles in your library. Expand your console's storage with Kingston FURY and enjoy the complete gaming experience. So, let's slim down your console and make it bigger on the inside. And get ready to game!
