Fans should note thatGod of War Ragnaroktakes up a massive amount of storage space. The PS5 version needs 84 GB of space, as compared to 106.9 GB for its PS4 counterpart. The EU versions ofGod of War Ragnaroktake up even more storage, so some players may have to delete data to make room for Kratos’ newest adventure.
