Those who have a Tales of Arise reservation from PlayStation Store they are now able to pre-load the JRPG before release in certain regions, which led to the discovery that the PS5 version is shrinking from what is on the PS4, a difference of 20 GB. Compressing the size of the PS5 game means that the current version generates only 37,201 GB, while the PS4 version is much larger, weighing 57,247 GB.
The smaller sizes of PS5 titles are some of the things that have stood out several times since the console was released, as current versions of games took up much less space on the system’s SSD. It was noted that both Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered were 25% smaller on PS5 compared to their PS4 versions. Or in the case of Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, significantly smaller than the PS4 edition along with all of its DLC; the PS5 version still overshadowed it despite all the specific bells and whistles of the PS5.
Bandai Namco’s JRPG is just the latest online that drastically reduces the size of its PS5 version, which I’m sure those who are tied to capital letters will appreciate. Tales of Arise arrives on PS5 and PS4 on September 10, 2021, so expect our verdict to arrive on the site in the coming days.
