Your console must have that much FREE space on the drive you install to, plus a few extra GB for updates. Day one update size is not announced. ## Step 1: Find your free space PS5: open Settings, then Storage, and read the free space number. Xbox: open Settings, then System, then Storage devices. Menu names can differ by system version, so check your console. Use the free number, not the total. ## Step 2: Do the sum Free space needed = 212 GB + about 10 GB for updates = about 222 GB. Missing space = 222 GB minus your free GB. If the answer is zero or less, you are done. If not, delete or archive about that many GB, or add storage. ## Step 3: What to delete first Sort your console storage screen by size. Remove in this order: finished single player games, demos, games unopened for months, duplicate installs. Your console shows each real size, so we do not guess numbers. ## Step 4: Do you need an SSD? Do the sum above. If the missing space is more than you want to delete, extra storage is the clean fix. Choose a size that covers 212 GB plus your other games. Check your console's list of supported storage before buying. ## Download time for 212 GB at ideal speed Your speed Time 25 Mbps about 18 h 51 min 50 Mbps about 9 h 25 min 100 Mbps about 4 h 43 min 200 Mbps about 2 h 21 min 500 Mbps about 57 min 1000 Mbps about 28 min ## The maths, so you can check it 212 GB x 8 = 1,696 gigabits = 1,696,000 megabits. Time in seconds = 1,696,000 / your speed in Mbps. At 100 Mbps: 16,960 s / 3,600 = 4.7 hours. Real speeds are often lower (wifi, busy evenings), so for a safer plan divide your speed by 0.8 or use a cable.
