These three games will be replaced by three more:Crash Bandicoot 4, Man of Medan,and Arcadegeddon. Generally speaking, these games have better collective reviews than the June games did (asGod of Waris the only one highly reviewed), so it’ll be interesting to see how the month is received. It matters now, too, if someone counts in the new PS Plus Extra additions or not. But for those working with limited space on their consoles, they should be aware that thePS Plusgames this month will eat up a lot of space.

Arcadegeddonadds a few gigabytes to the download size of the games, though it’s by far the smallest. Looking at just the PS4 size, as PS5 versions have smaller sizes,Arcadegeddoncomes in somewhere between 6.5 and 13 gigabytes.Man of MedanandCrash Bandicoot 4, however, are huge. The former comes in at 50.5 gigabytes on its own, while the latter comes in at 45.3. That’s nearly 100 gigabytes for just two games, and it’s pushed over that 100 GB threshold if someone downloads all three games.
Those who download all three games to a PS5 console are in relatively better shape, asArcageddonweighs in at 7.1 GB,Crash Bandicootat 20.05 GB, andMan of Medan(as there’s only a PS4 version available)remains at 50.5 GB. That’s a total of 77.65 GBs compared to the 100 for PS4 users.
Storage space, arguably, is becoming a bigger and bigger issue as games get bigger, even if consoles are finding better ways of utilizing that storage space.External SSDs for PS5and Xbox Series X remain expensive though, meaning some players constantly have to download, delete, download games, and/or redownload others. For those with access to great internet, that’s not a big deal, but many rural areas struggle more so in this department.
This is truer considering therelease of PS Plus Extra and Premium, as well as Game Pass on Xbox consoles. These libraries are huge and no one has every single game downloaded, but it’s understandable why some services are looking into better cloud technology. Either way, PS4 users looking to get all three games should make sure they have the space.
