Phantom Blade Zero on PS5: HobbyConsolas reveals the file size

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Phantom Blade Zero on PS5: HobbyConsolas reveals the file size.

135 gigabytes – that's how much storage Phantom Blade Zero is expected to take up on the PlayStation 5. The Spanish gaming site HobbyConsolas revealed this, citing data specialist PlayStation Game Size, which pulls its figures from the console's backend.

No queremos asustar a nadie, pero igual deberías hacer un poco de espacio si no tienes SSD externo.

Where the 135 GB comes from

The figure doesn't come directly from developer S-GAME, but from the PlayStation backend. HobbyConsolas' editorial team considers the data reliable – PlayStation Game Size has historically been mostly accurate. The interesting part is the context: S-GAME is building the title, according to HobbyConsolas, as a „AAA muy ambicioso" – a particularly ambitious blockbuster. Anyone expecting a slim download here will be surprised – 135 GB for a single title is far from standard on the PS5.

By comparison: Rebirth, Wukong, Where Winds Meet

To keep the figure from feeling abstract, HobbyConsolas draws comparisons to other current top titles. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth arrived on PS5 in 2024 at around 145 GB – an open-world game, also built in Unreal Engine 5. Black Myth Wukong came in at 139 GB at launch. For those looking even further up the scale, HobbyConsolas comments point to Where Winds Meet, which pushes „prácticamente" – practically – up against the 200 GB mark with just under 200 GB. In this lineup, Phantom Blade Zero isn't the frontrunner, but it's no lightweight either – 135 GB lands squarely in the league of the heaviest hitters.

What this means for your PS5

The original line from the HobbyConsolas article cuts right to the point: „No queremos asustar a nadie, pero igual deberías hacer un poco de espacio si no tienes SSD externo." Anyone using the standard PS5's internal storage without upgrades is likely to literally hit their limits with this title – 135 GB will force most players to declutter, move files, or upgrade. HobbyConsolas readers are split in their reactions: while some see every new 100 GB title as evidence of a runaway industry, others counter that 135 GB looks positively tame compared to the 200 GB contenders mentioned.

Preload starts before release

On the bright side: HobbyConsolas points out that the precarga – the pre-download – begins a few days before the official release. With 135 GB, that's no small mercy. That way the hefty download doesn't have to squeeze through your home internet line in the first hours after launch; it'll already be on the drive when the game unlocks. So you spend launch night in front of the screen rather than the download bar.

HobbyConsolas closes with a bluntly posed question: „¿Tienes espacio suficiente en tu PlayStation 5 para instalar Phantom Blade Zero?" – Do you even have enough space? You'll find the full context in the original article at HobbyConsolas.
