Final Fantasy 15 File Size Revealed

Final Fantasy 15's final file size has been revealed, and is not too surprising given the scope and scale of Square Enix's latest JRPG adventure.

Even though Square Enix has yet to announce anything official, the folks at DualShockers have revealed the Final Fantasy 15 file size for both PS4 and Xbox One, and neither is what one would call "small." Final Fantasy 15 on Sony's platform will require upwards of 50 GB of space, and the same goes for Microsoft's Xbox One.

About these sizes, it's interesting to note that they are much smaller than Square Enix had originally projected for the respective consoles. For example, on the PlayStation store, Sony has listed the file size of Final Fantasy 15 at 40 GB, which is 10 shy of the final total. Furthermore, both of these file size numbers don't include the day one patch for Final Fantasy 15, which Square is calling the "crown update." The day one patch will bring a lot of important fixes for the game, many of which will improve the experience right out of the gate.

Although that was to be expected, given the scope and scale of the Final Fantasy series, surely some gamers are surprised to see the game take up so much space. That's especially true when one considers how large many of the other fall releases are, including Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.

Fortunately, both Microsoft and Sony have introduced new consoles that come with larger hard drives. The Xbox One S can store up to 2 TB of games to play, while the new PS4 Pro is equipped with a 1 TB stock hard drive. There are also many ways to upgrade a console's hard drive or to add external storage, if one knows where to look.

Final Fantasy 15 is scheduled to release on November 29, 2016 for PS4 and Xbox One.
