In the meantime, I’m not taking conveniently small game footprints for granted. And maybe one day all our games will be streamed from the cloud anyway, making local storage obsolete. External storage add-ons are also getting cheaper, alleviating concerns for those who can afford them. With 4K textures, mountains of cutscenes, and full voice acting, cutting-edge blockbusters on the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC are never going to be that small. And if it’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, well, all I can say is I’m sorry. God help you if you also have an online multiplayer game you jump into regularly like Destiny 2, Apex Legends, or Fortnite. I love what I’ve played so far but man, that whole part sucks. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor threw this whole gauntlet into overdrive. The 22 Best Games For The Nintendo Switch The 15 Best Games For Sony's PlayStation 5 Do I really have time to be replaying The Witcher 3 right now? Should I put God of War Ragnarök on hold while I finish Horizon Forbidden West’s Burning Shores DLC? What if I just play one more hour of the latest random 2D Soulslike I downloaded before deleting it? With standard PS5 and Xbox Series X storage drives being only 500GB, with even less space available purely for storing games, it doesn’t’ take long before downloading the next hit, or even a small indie game, leads to headaches. The biggest are over 100GB, even well over it. Most modern blockbusters have filesizes of at least 50GB. Simple, right? And yet I can’t remember the last time installing one of the biggest games of the year went so smoothly. The download finished quickly, and then I started playing. No minor crisis over deciding which of the half-dozen unfinished games on my console would get the boot. No prompt to delete something else to make room. I paid for the game, exited the eShop, and then it just…started downloading. Like many others, I just bought the digital version of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on my Switch. Zelda holds the Tears of the Kingdom cartridge in her hands.
