PlayStationSize on Twitter/X has revealed the pre-load date and download size for Borderlands 4, courtesy of recent database entries made to PlayStation servers. The upcoming action role-playing first-person looter shooter will take up a reasonably modest amount of storage space on the PS5. That said, those with limited available space on the internal storage drive are advised to clear up some space in advance. It goes without saying that storage expansion options are available for those who need them.
