Prepare 100 GB to play The Last of Us Part II

One of the problems that has been growing in recent months for console users is related to disk space. Games are getting bigger and bigger, and developers don't skimp on putting in a long list of textures, files, and graphics that get bigger and bigger with the arrival of new updates. What if we told you that you might not have space to play The Last of Us Part II?

100 GB revenge

We already know that the story that he proposes to us The Last of Us Part II is about the revenge and anger that Ellie accumulates after experiencing a very traumatic episode yet to be discovered, however, it seems that the trauma could expand into reality if we are not prepared enough, since more than one user could find themselves in trouble at when installing the game.

The reason is in the size of the package that we will have to download in the digital version, since the download will be no less than 78,3 GB. To this we will have to add the day one patch that is scheduled to be available on launch day, which could lead to a total of more than 100 GB of free storage space on the disk of our console. That is what we have been able to see through a capture published in Reddit from someone who probably owns a review copy of the game.

If you have a PlayStation 4 Pro with a 1 TB hard drive, you may be somewhat comfortable in this regard, but if, on the contrary, you have one of the first 500 GB hard drives, and to top it off, you're playing Call of Duty: War zone (whose storage already exceeds 150 GB in total), it is most likely that you will have to make room for your console in one way or another.

Games need more and more space

The evolution of the size of the games is something that undoubtedly surprises when we analyze the data. As we can see in a list compiled by Twisted Voxel, exclusive games for the console used to not exceed 50 GB:

• Uncharted 4: 48 GB
• Uncharted The Lost Legacy: 44,7 GB
• The Order 1886: 29,4 GB
• Bloodborne: 25,3 GB
• Killzone Shadowfall: 39,7 GB
• God of War: 44,46 GB
• Marvel's Spider-Man: 45 GB
• Days Gone: 38 GB
• The Last of Us Remastered: 43,54 GB
• Ratchet and Clank: 26,4 GB

As you can see, the difference is abysmal with some games, although we are sure that all the necessary space will be worth it in order to enjoy this new installment of Naughty Dog that is raising so much expectation.
