PS5: 8 CONFIRMED Features We Already Know

2. The Disc Format Will Be 128GB BD-XL

With recent news that Red Dead Redemption 2 will ship on two discs due to its 100GB install size - and digital users will need an extra 50GB to unpack the game - there's been plenty of discussion about whether the current Blu-ray disc format will actually be viable for PS5.

After all, so many AAA games require patches, updates and additional downloadable content counting in the tens of gigabytes, so it would certainly be beneficial for the PS5 to move beyond the 50GB limitations of one dual-layer Blu-ray.

Numerous rumours and more convincing industry reports state that Sony will be making use of their new four-layer BD-XL discs, which can hold a stonking 128GB each.

While this may end up boosting the cost of PS5 games, it's at least nice to know that Sony won't be sticking with a media size that's seemed increasingly restrictive in recent years.
