Boards PlayStation 4 Do games on disc take up less space than downloaded games? User Info: maniaxe User Info: Foxclaws. If a game is a 40GB. Download It's still going to be a 40GB install on disc. I'm not okay I'm crazy!!!! Foxclaws posted User Info: PsychoWolfX.

Yep, disc games take up just as much space as downloads. As someone with horribly slow internet, I find it incredibly stupid, but whatever, I installed a 2 TB internal and when that fills up I'll grab whatever the biggest external I can get my hands on. The world is a stage, and the stage is a world of entertainment. Self proclaimed "Hank Hill" of the Switch board.

User Info: stevetherican. PsychoWolfX posted Did this exact same thing. Will be looking into an 8tb external this holiday. But yes both forms are exact same hdd space. User Info: Lamace. Yes, they take up the same space. However, disk based games install infinitely faster than downloads of the same game. User Info: Rayder. This gen, a disk is nothing more than an install vessel and DRM dongle. I'm 53 and I like playing video games. They are fun and I like them, so I play them.

So there. Thanks for letting me know. For other games that are quick to finish, or games that someone would only play once, these hybrid gamers buy the disc. Because they can resell it once they are done and recoup some of the original cost. There should be information about various technical requirements, including the minimum hard drive space that you need to be able to play the game.

Of course, the game may take up a bit more than that, especially once you start saving a lot of extra files related to it. Many movie rental stores and kiosks also have games available for a variety of consoles. Is There Another Option? How do you buy your games? Disc, digital, or a little of both?
