The PS4 install size for Cyberpunk 2077 has been revealed as part of the game’s requirements via the PlayStation store and it’s massive. You’ll need to make some room, because the game is coming in hot, requiring a whopping 80 GB for PS4. This, while not totally surprising when you consider how ambitious Cyberpunk 2077 seems to be, is still a hefty and noteworthy detail that’s worth being aware of. This data was discovered in the PS4’s requirements for the game under the PSN preorder, though it should be noted that the PS4 often requires more space than the final size of the game ends up being. It should also be noted that the game is still in development and won’t release for nearly a year, so the size of the install is subject to change during that time.
Many PS4 users out there are still rocking the original model, which only has 500 GB of on board memory. Even more recent iterations of the PS4 Slim still only give you 500 GB to work with. Later PS4s like the Pro and more modern Slim models include 1 TB, which gives you a bit more wiggle room. Other players may have upgraded to a larger hard drive or use an external drive for more space. However, after installing the operating system and other required features, your memory can start to run out fast. Four or five 80 GB games installed to your system could cap you out if you’re playing on a launch 500 GB PS4.
