Video games continue to grow in file size every generation and now some games are well over 100 GB. The next-generation consoles storage will likely fill up quickly depending on what games users install. The PlayStation 5 comes with an 825 GB SSD, the Xbox Series X a 1 TB SSD, and the Xbox Series S a 512 GB SSD.

Off-screen images of the PS5 OS have appeared on ResetEra. One image shows the PS5 will have 664 GB of usable storage. Astro’s Playroom, the game that comes pre-installed on the console, takes up 2.38 GB of storage, while the OS and system files takes up around 158 GB of storage.

People who have gotten hands-on experience with the Xbox Series X previously revealed the console comes with 802 GB of usable space with the OS and system files taking up 200 GB.

its nice to know how much usable storage the ps5 has.  so is the xbox series x.  the xbox ssd might have a little higher storage capacity but the ps5 ssd has like 2 times faster loading speed than the xsx ssd.

Yeah. It's not a lot in either camp. But at least Sony gives you another M2 slot where you can expand without replacing the hard drive if you don't want to. As far as I know, you can just throw in any M2 card. Microsoft is making you expand with proprietary drives which will cost a couple hundred. Not a smart move there.
