Great news for PS5 players
Tales of Arise, the newest title in the acclaimed JRPG franchise, is 20 GB smaller on the PlayStation 5 when compared to its counterpart on the PlayStation 4. The fact was point out by Twitter user @Helencrownsjr. According to the user, Bandai Namco’s upcoming JRPG weighs-in at 57.247 GB on PS4 while 37.201 GB on PS5. You can check out Helen Crowns’ post below, where they showcase screenshots illustrating their findings.
The reason for the difference in the size of the files is in the fact that Sony’s current-gen console makes use of a specialized data compression tool, capable of compressing games to up to 60% of their original size. The game is not the first to feature the size reduction when compared to other platforms, joining titles such as Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Control: Ultimate Edition, and Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered.
