Sony smartly combats the modest PlayStation 5 SSD size. Players have much more space than it might seem

Sci-fi shooter Necromunda: Hired Gun takes up half as much space on PS5 as on Xbox consoles

Although many Xbox fans mock the PlayStation 5's 825-gigabyte SSD, which is modest by today's standards, a unique data compression algorithm allows it to be used much more efficiently and save space. Necromunda: Hired Gun alone takes up only 15.7 gigabytes on PlayStation 5 (without the day one patch), while the Xbox version will occupy 35.1 gigabytes. 

To be fair, it is worth noting that disk space-saving tricks do not always work out for developers. Take the Mass Effect Legendary Edition remaster, which takes up 88 gigabytes on Xbox, and as much as 100 on PS5 — 101, to be exact.
