Nov 5, Minneapolis, MN. I have like 4 games installed on my PS4 and I have honestly not bought new games because I don't have the room.
Oct 25, 7, I bought a 8TB drive after this happened a few times, I never delete games anymore. Any new game is installed to internal, any game I don't play much anymore I move to external storage.
Nice thing on PS4 is you can turn off external storage from the dashboard, no real reason to but it makes me feel good for some reason lol. Oct 25, 12, Had the same issue since I downloaded the three dlcs to play it in one go.
Had to delete stuff to give it space even though it still had 40gb free , such a dumb way of handling this. Lukemia SL Member. Jan 30, 8, This always happens with Destiny 2 and GT Sport.

How a lot of modern patching systems work, because of how everything has to be compressed and stuff to take up less space, is the patch file itself is often just changes that need to be applied to whichever main archives the game has. And in order to safeguard against corruption in case the patch was improperly downloaded, or there's a power outage while patching , the entire data archive of the game must be duplicated.
Once the patcher builds a "patched" data archive, the old archive is replaced and the space is freed up. Basically, the games take up so much space nowadays, that in order to have them take up less space at other times, they need to take up twice the space when patching.

Edge A King's Landing Banned. Oct 25, 20, Celle, Germany. That's not even the most annoying thing about it. The most annoying thing is that this made console was never meant to get updates for one single game.
So when a multiplayer GAAS game gets updates these days the download mostly takes 30 seconds, while the copying needs minutes. Oct 25, 4, England.
