PS5: 10 Ways To Blow PS4 Out The Water

8. MUCH Bigger Hard Drives

In Uncharted 4, Naughty Dog had more polygons in Nathan Drake’s face than they did in the entirety of Crash Bandicoot 1. Not only is this an interesting fact (shut up, yes it is), it shows just how far technology in gaming has come in a relatively short space of time.

Though games are getting better at keeping themselves small, they ultimately will continue to get bigger as more and more features are added. This means consoles are going to need to offer bigger hard drives until we inevitably move to a cloud based system.

While we know some of the specs for the PS5, we don’t know anything about hard drive sizes. They may even have a couple of different sizes at launch, as well as being likely to release an even bigger model later in the cycle.

We already know that PS5 is going to be lightning fast. There’s a lot of thought, effort and money clearly gone into the specs then, and they aren’t going to leave something as important as the hard drive size out of that. It’ll likely be pushed as a selling point nearer to release, but for now we’re left speculating.
