The leap from PlayStation 4 Pro to PlayStation 5 will cause a rude awakening. PS4 Pro certainly has a 1TB hard drive. At the same time, the PS5 is equipped with an 825GB solid-state drive (SSD), but this is only written on paper. As with any modern video game console, the dedicated storage space is large, so you can only dedicate 667.2GB for your own purposes. Although you can get a step on the PS4 release of 408.5GB, it is still a far cry from the PS4 Pro.

Astronomy Game Room Only over 11GB, but every byte is important! And, as a bonus, you now know exactly how to find the storage location of the game when you want to delete the game from the system in the future.

Move your PS4 games to an external hard drive.

To reduce the burden of PS5’s built-in SSD, picking up an external hard drive is the best and only option. The system cannot play PS5 games from external storage-in fact, there is no way to even copy them-but PS4 games do so without problems.

Plug in the power source. When I tried to use the front port, the system told me that I must use one of the USB ports on the back. (For reference, I am using a standard Western Digital Elements 1TB hard drive and 3.0 USB. Your process may vary depending on the drive used.)

Reformatting. When you insert the external drive, you will be prompted to reformat. If not, you can find an option in the “Storage” menu under “Extended Storage”. This is the giant button in the center. do not miss it. This will delete any content stored on it. After previously testing the process on Xbox Series X, I stored a bunch of Xbox One games there to leave enough space on Series X for next-generation games. Like PS5, Xbox Series X can play the latest generation of games from an external drive, but requires an internal drive to run high-end next-generation games. Short version: Those Xbox One games are no longer on my drive.

Copy your PS4 game. After inserting the drive and formatting the drive, go to the “Storage” menu (where you send astronomical Other data). If everything is done correctly, you will see a second tab, which lists all the games you can move. Select the content you want to copy, then jump to the menu on the right, and click Move. When the PS5 copy game ends, you will not be able to perform any other operations. For example, after your first game is copied, please stop the process (“circle” button) to avoid canceling the copy. Any unfinished copy content can be returned to the original location on the PS5. Unable to copy saved data, screenshots and video clips to the extended storage.

Set the system to always install PS4 games into the expansion storage. In the “Storage” menu, go to “External Storage”. You should see a toggle switch that allows you to install future PS4 games directly on the external device. Open it. Now, you don’t need to perform these steps again-until you fill up the external storage.

(Note: some users Already reported External storage issues seem to cause your system to crash Spiderman Remake Running. Last week, a colleague mentioned a similar problem, Spider-Man: Miles Morales.Insomnia representative Said The company is investigating. )

Check the file size of cross-generation games.

You might think that if you choose the PS5 version, the games released across generations will be larger, but in fact some PS5 games smaller Than their PS4 counterparts on PS5, Spider-Man: Miles Morales The PS4 version requires 52GB to download. In contrast, the PS5 version and all its features occupy only 39GB.for Sackboy: A big adventure, These figures are 35GB and 30GB respectively.even Assassin’s Creed Valhalla The PS5 version is smaller (but only 1GB).

If the PS4 version is smaller (if you are willing to give up performance), be sure to download the older version. Just don’t think it will take up less space. And when using it, please make sure not to accidentally download the two versions of the game!

Decrease your catch.

In your settings, scroll all the way to the bottom to the “Capture and Broadcast” menu. Go to the “Capture” submenu and click “Video Clip Format”. Make sure that the manual recording resolution is set to 1920×1080, not 3840×2160. (You don’t need to work on Genius Bar to know that 4K video can generate larger files than 1080p video.)

You can also change this setting at any time by clicking the “Share” button and scrolling all the way to the right without going to settings.You will see a small icon with two lines that looks like they got lost on the way back witness. This allows you to adjust capture settings on the fly.

Delete your exploit certificate.

Compared with the troubled three-way coach, PlayStation offers more trophies. If you are a PlayStation player, then you may be too familiar with the platform’s trophy system. This is a never-ending dopamine meta game that can provide you with points for accomplishing various feats in various games. In addition to throwing trophies in the case of digital trophies, PS5 will also record evidence of your feat in the form of a 15-second video clip. This is important to self (everyone likes trophies). It is not very good for your SSD.

Finding these clips is an adventure in itself. First, you need to go to the game library (all the way to the right on the main bar of the “Games” tab). Go to the installed game (second tab) and scroll all the way down to the bottom. You should see the Media Gallery application. Alternative method: Click the “Share” button, click the tab to the left of the thumbnail of the recent screenshot, click it, and you will see an option to go directly to the media library. Either way.

Open that, and click twice to select “Tropphies. On the left edge, you should see two icons. Click the icon at the top (it has an arrow and three rows), and then sort the content by size. Trust me : This will make the next work easier. Then, click the one at the bottom. This way you can select various clips at once. After selecting the unplayable video, navigate to the menu on the right and click ” Delete” button.

Tip: You can click the option button and select “Info” to see the exact file size of the file.

These videos seem to be recorded in 1080p instead of 4K, even if you have set the capture settings to 4K. Therefore, this was initially a trivial measure-for testing, I cleared twelve clips and refunded about half of the performance funds to my internal storage-but this prevents your used space from swelling too hard The level of management. At the beginning of playback, there may not be many clips in the Trophys folder of the media library. But think about all the games you will play. Then think about all the interesting things to do in all these games. Each instance of what is said to be bad creates a video clip of a large size. Add up. In the months and years to come, be sure to follow suit.

Those who are cautious about saying goodbye to the indisputable “I told you” mountains should not worry. You can always eject the thumb drive from the USB slot and copy the clip before deleting it again. Just follow the same steps above to select what you want to copy. Instead of clicking the “Delete” button, click the button with three dots directly below it. That should give you a choice to copy all selected files to a compatible USB device.

Moreover, if you just want to completely turn off the automatic capture function, that is also an option. Just go back to the “Capture and Broadcast” menu and scroll down to “Trophies.” You will see a switch that can be turned off.

Take time until… someday.

Sony Say Then, at some point before the heat death of the universe, you will be able to expand the storage of the console through the M.2 SSD drive. For now, the company recommends delaying the purchase of such drives until they release more details. There is no news yet.
