Player’s Opinion is a weekly section where Vandal posts opinions expressed in the forum on a suggested topic. Every Friday afternoon Spanish time, a new issue, news or text is presented to readers to express their point of view. In this section, we highlight the most representative texts of the week, although all comments in the thread are available for this.
This week we asked our readers if they had any issues with space on their current consoles. Games take more and more time, and sometimes it is necessary to expand the memory. What solution did gamers find?
Next week’s question: Are you expecting full editions?
● “Yes, with a switch. The Micro SD card is full for a long time. And the console’s hard drive is more of the same.” – Finland
● “I have a PS5 and at the moment I don’t have much of a problem with space. I will also say that most of the games I have are PSVR2 games which take up relatively little space. Except for GT7 and RE8. In any case, I plan to buy an SSD for 1 TB, which is already 100”. – scars
● “No, with the 1TB SSD expansion on the PS5 and the 2TB with the official XBOX series platforms, which together end up costing as much as buying a PC, which I also have, and which is the mainstay of gaming. The next generation will be entirely on PC. .” – TRINITY 22
● “For many years, I thought that you need to delete every game that you missed or are not going to play, because nowadays games take more and more time, and the internal memory of consoles does not increase. I am still waiting for these solutions , which will be: “They were talking about only being able to install part of the game or something like that. On the other hand, I really appreciate the Kraken compressor work on the PS5.” – YakuzaAndroideDelFuturo
● “I thought you were also wondering about the physical space. But in terms of storage, in my case I only buy digital, more than once I had to delete games to install new ones or even stop playing some for a reason.” what they were doing and how it was ultimately used.” – Daikayoh
● “I think everyone has had issues with hard drive space on our consoles. I had to buy an external drive because it was difficult to constantly install and uninstall games.’ – Sons88
● “Nope. I have a PS5 and series S as is, no expansion, and 1 gigabyte fiber connection. If I download a game and it tells me there’s no space, I delete the game that’s there, forgetting and that’s it. If I want to get back to this game it takes a while to load so no dramas i always usually have a car game, something like call of duty for parties and a single player on duty plus some indies a bit of psvr2 and not much else . In my case, I don’t see the need to expand capacity anywhere.” – love
● “Not me personally.
I guess it’s also because of the way I play.
When I play, I devote myself almost exclusively to one or two titles.
I usually have about 4 or 5 installed and I always like to have room.
Everything is fine.
Oh, I forgot to say that I play most of my games on PS5, I’ve had no problems with PS4 and XBox either.” – Typhus_Raven
● “Yes and no. Every time I want to install a game, I have to uninstall another one or even two, but with the speed of the Internet now, I can download anything in 20 minutes, so uninstalling games doesn’t mean anything to me “. – YugaTron
● “With the PS5, no matter how much it fills up with gigantic games, I still have a lot of space.
And on the Switch, even though it wouldn’t have lasted a year without the SD, I’ve run out of space at all times since it launched.
Of course, you should delete what’s finished or not played anyway, because otherwise it’s clear that space is limited and it will eventually run out.” – AlexGamer07
● “The new consoles of this generation make it more accessible to install a solid state drive, the two PS5 covers are designed to be removed without problems, and besides cleaning the fan, there is a place for the solid state drive nearby, so you have a lot of space with the solid state drive inserted, if you store few games saved on the console, especially the online ones, since the single player games in my case I delete from the hard drive. – Midgar_01
● “Yes, this is the first time I’ve seen serious space issues on the Switch. Even though I play more physically than digitally, between updates and more than one digital title ending up dropping, I’m all time to remove it. Thank God I put an SD with enough capacity.” – The difference
● “Oh yeah, I just bought a PS5 and I’m already thinking about an SSD upgrade.” – NocturnoyDiurno
● “I play turn based games and only play short retro or indie games so I have plenty of space.” – Not true
