Crash Bandicoot 4 File Size Has Been Cut To Half on PS5 and Xbox Series

Salal Awan March 12, 2021

Crash Bandicoot 4 is out now for PS5 and Xbox Series consoles and based on the early impressions, it is a good port that also greatly reduces the file size.

Crash Bandicoot 4 launched with a file size of 45 GB on PS4 while the Xbox One version without the day one patch was roughly 30 GB, but if we added the patch into the final size, then it comes to more than 40 GB just like the PS4 version.

This is why it is surprising to see that the PS5 version of the game is also half the size of the PS4 version, weighing in at just 20 GB. The game is playable now on the PS5 after installing the latest update 1.05 patch which is available on PS4. Additionally, you can also purchase it for PS4/PS5 since it is on sale for $38.99 digitally from the PlayStation or Xbox Store.

Here is the file size of Crash Bandicoot 4 on the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PS4, and PS5.

30.01 GB – Xbox One (without day one patch)
45.38 GB – PS4
22 GB – Xbox Series
20 GB – PS5
9.4 GB – Nintendo Switch

Here are some of the PS5 exclusive features that were shared by Sony on their official website.
